No Childhood

Author: Jayla Williams

Be a child without a hood 

And never draw suspicion

Because you never want to have someone 

Make a “grounded” decision

It takes a village to raise a child

This very well may be true

But don’t be a child with a hood

Or the village won’t be raising you

Because if it’s just past dark

And you want to get skittles for your brother

A vigilante might get excited

And take you from your mother
