The American Dream
What is the American Dream?
A Dream that those outside are simply longing to live
They long to live
While some inside are trying to live
Living off the scraps of society
Expressing and breathing anxiety
Judgement. Why are we so quick to judge the homeless?
Why are we so quick to hate, spit rage, disgrace, and blame the less fortunate?
Man... just imagine being homeless,
Just imagine having to worry about your next move
Praying to even see food
Wanting to see the good in humanity
While slowly just losing your sanity
Now look... we all just need to care for another
We all need to stop acting like those who are homeless are a societal bother
I mean we are all human at the end of the day
So might as well help those less fortunate to find another way.

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.
