Minds blank as a piece of paper
but colorful as a box of crayons.
Fingers readily to shoot
but not to write a college entrance exam
Are we a product of our environment?
The 91%
Who does not hold a degree
The 43%
out of the 2.3 million in jail; are African American
Hard work and reward
needs to be implemented
to shift these numbers
before more lives are ruined
