TALENTED
There’s a lot of us around here
We sing

We dance
We paint
WE even have photographers
Where we live
4 year olds making clay sculptures
8 year old kids making mosaics
12 year old boys fixin cars
But lets not forget the highschoolers
Being so talented
Yet, they go nowhere because
Around here we just don’t
We don’t live in the ‘burbs
We live in what most call
BOOGIE DOWN BRONX
Except we live in allies
Abandoned apartments
BECAUSE THAT’S WHATS LEFT
AROUND HERE


The author's comments:
The piece is based on, really what I think is all over the world. I have younger family members who sing, and have been singing all their lives. But none of them every go anywhere. They end up in a small town in the middle of nowhere.
