Nasty Community
Nasty Community
By Terio Xiong
Look at this community
This issue we have
How it can cause this much trouble
“ Nasty “
As people call Milwaukee
“ Pathetic “
People call us
Disgusting as the junkyard
Is what people call us
But us people
African-American , Asian , Hispanics and Etc.
We can change “ Nasty “
Into “ Decent “
“ Pathetic “
into ” worthy “
“ Disgusting “
into “ Pleasant “
I’m saying we can make a change
Like what I’m trying to do and the community
I want to make a change
This is the community we want
To respect each other race
Don’t be putting it into waste
Make a change …
Or don’t even dare to play the game
