I wrote this poem about my best friend's son. I hope that my friend shows it to him in hopes that it'll help him wake up and realize what he's doing.
Boy or Man?
I knew this kid once
-in reality he's a man
Who dreamed of becoming
The man with a plan.
He had goals for his life
-maybe two kids and a wife.
But somewhere things
Went horribly wrong.
A girl came along
To ruin life's song.
The good Lord sent her
From heaven above.
It's not what you think
-it was a test, not love.
She entered his life
To use and abuse
His good nature and love
-then the horror ensued.
They were like Bonnie and Clyde
-two criminals forever.
There's one huge difference
-their love was enough to go down together.
Not so with this young couple
She has her own agenda.
She wants him to take the fall on his own
She steals from her family and spreads propaganda.
She steals from his mom
And he cashes the check.
I worry about him because
His mom is my friend, the best.
He knows that it hurts her
-but if he knew how much,
He wouldn't let this girl ruin his life
With the drugs, the stealing and such.
This kid had a dream once
Of being the man with a plan.
For now the question remains-
Is he a boy, or a man?
