Poetry: A new life

by Tonya Latrice Wilson

Created on: May 15, 2008   Last Updated: June 26, 2008

Are the only lives that matter, the people that
have money? It seem to me that the poor folks
still haven't gotten their new life, they just got
dreams. Dreams of one day moving out of the inner
city.

In addition, their inner city lives that they
live in this world, holds cemetery's of broken hearts,
deceptions of the mind, and their crushed dreams.

The rich folks in the world probably don't think
their lives are worth anything. Are the only lives
that matter, the people that have money?

Oh Lord, please tell me that it isn't so, tell me
Lord, that the poor folks have a second chance in
this world. I'm not even asking for diamonds and
pearls. But Please, tell me lord,that it's not true,
tell me that the poor folks can get a new life too.
