Teaching - Inner City Blues
To stand before this unforgiving crowd of youth
Arguing truth
Against the lies of advertisement
Told in color
Sound bites
Just three minutes long
And millions paid
To singers of the song.
Today
One of my absent students has been shot
I’m told
Nothing so bold as crime
Just in the wrong place
At the wrong time.
He was just about to turn his life around.
