Time to take stock
Making decisions
Like children throwing rocks
Consequences arrive and take stage
Leaving you to contemplate rage
A over abundance on information does not give people the clarity to see
Its causes confusion within the whole of our Society
Time to reflect on your life as you try to see
On this journey are you where you are supposed to be
So many who see this world from a jaded point of view
When you are so quick to judge what does that say about you
What is your purpose, what is your plan
To be among the one percenters is where you take your stand
Whether you be in a prison or your own mental jail
Where the people have no vision the people fail
So much has been taken so much has be blocked
Our educational systems have truly been rocked
Of this life’s journey what will you say
I may not be where I want to be, but at least I am on the way

Talented Black creators spotlight: Catherine Nyomenda (Chap 3).
