Polarization

"hudlum"
disguised word
hiding its meaning
from anyone
in the -f- or -s- decades

street speak for
doin' the crime
defined by those
out of step
with today's time

we speak
they don't listen
they don't hear us

turn a blind eye so
they don't see us

we scream
they don't understand

we act
they gasp
they whisper
afraid

they run
hiding in their
big ass houses
behind their
big ass gates
surrounded by
their dumb ass kind

afraid of the dark
afraid of the young
afraid of words
they don't want
.....to understand
