Children of Children (By Oscar Brown Jr)

A beautiful poem written by Oscar Brown Jr.:

The children of children by the time their half grown, they have habits like rabbits and young of their own.
The children of children from their mama's lap hop to the ground to be taken in traps.
The children of children are trapped in their dark skins to stay in and play in a game that no one wins.
The children of children while so young and sweet are all damn and programmed for future defeat.
The children of children are trapped by adults failed and jailed to hide the results.
The children of children enable to cope with systems that twists them and rubbed them of hope.
The children of children are sinned and ashamed. Preparing and bearing; who do you blame?
The children of children cry out everyday. They beg you for rescue.... and what do you say?
