Setting on a course
not to use only force
A better shirt could be had
Would that just drive someone mad
A million can be equated
To 50,000 elevated
I still am in the shade
I am not already made
These poems need better edited
Before i have them credited
For me to just look pretty
Should not mean a family starve in the city
If my work produces hope and light
Getting that job will not be a slight
Axiomatic accountancy
The theory of relativity
Rockets fly into space
And follows the human race
If the cavalry actually fights today
All i can do is pray and pray
It seems like the Devil always wins this game
So no one will question his pretty, pretty name

A dead past does not put a halt to a new future. A year later, Kaffy, a highly intelligent, creative, bookish, and preppy Nigerian-Canadian 15-year-old girl was released from juvenile prison. She was arrested and charged with petty theft and assault, and was sentenced to a year in prison. Her sentence was supposed to be 6 months for stealing a lollipop, a chocolate bar, a pack of playing cards, and a bag of Cheeto's cheesies from 7-Eleven, but she received another 6 months for kicking, punching, and hitting another female inmate across the face during an altercation in the canteen.
