*What’s going on?* (1)

By *****Junior Walker***** •

I can’t believe it, Marvin Gaye’s long gone And I still don’t know “What’s going on” Beef With no expiry date And I’m just Trying to survive through the crime rate Young bodies Being disposed of And girls getting dealt with With no love It’s really a shame What they go through Because of the stupid stuff That we men do And if you are what you eat I guess those African kids are nothing, Why are the government spending billions On space travel when there’s people down here starving. Governments doing stupid stuff with money Instead of a war on poverty They got a war on terror So they can fill up Shell, Exxon, Mobil and BP And let’s talk about you Just think of the past year or two All the nonsense you’ve been through A good time long overdue And so I wonder to myself From dusk till dawn From dawn to dusk “What’s going on” Dedicated to the memory of Marvin Gaye

Oh I remember Marvin Gaye. But I really like the content of this, your poem. You have touched on many important factors of life today, and as we all have noticed "what's going on" ...Gr8 work here in your poem!
