As you leave your keys you meet your replacement. You are asked to give this new teacher just ONE piece of advice. What would that be, and why? Enjoy your world expedition!

LET ME CONTROL THE MIC..........

"Breaking"

Many cycles and links in the chain
Fatherless father
Motherless mother
Homeless home
Uneducated minds leads to bodies without pride.

Lyrics to rap songs inspires making of syrup that gets the on the lean.
The dreams of being a rapper or ball player.
While the reading levels tells us that it's still elementary.
Reading levels to GPS the prison system.

Fatherless father leaving mothers to be fathers 
The youth flooding the trap without being trapped in a library.
Words on many pages of books that leads to baby souls being Took.

So much is breaking....

The chain is still being connected with the structure of the house.
Government funding households with the youth not knowing the truth being told. 

Red and blue bandannas that causes war within the walls of the schools
Education buildings feels like walls of a prison cell
Teachers are guards with bachelor, masters, and PHD.

Breaking...

Kids having babies
Boys left to turn themselves into a man.
No role models
And proper grammar means you're talking white. 

It just isn't right...

How the chains and mindsets are still together as one.
See wrong and doing wrong
48 hours become more of a pride system 
While we still have the concept of being chained 


I like to write as a stress reliever, so here is a little poem!!!
