Young men of courage and conviction.

Young men of courage and conviction.
In the game of life need to learn
many of its hard lessons.
Without proper guidance in
their world, they seek
the wrong paths.

Without any proper sense of
right and wrong, they most
likely will become proud gang
members before long.

Older men in their 20's
are on the lookout
for prospective gang members.
A normal way of life's values
they willfully fail to remember.

They arm themselves with knives
and guns along with other
weapons of destruction.

Their initiation into gang life,
often involves taking innocent lives.
Without even thinking once or even twice.

Revenge killings of rival gang members
seem to escalate.  Death without
honor is their fate.  They need to
be rescued before it is too late.

Love as always,
Roxanne Lea Dubarry
