My Brother, Why Do You Hang Your Pants So Low?

Passionate about Poetry on May 8, 2009

Sagging is a ridiculous trend.

My Brother

Why are you sagging your pants ?

don’t you know this trend is ruining your chance

Ruining your chance to have a fresh start in this society

Ruining your chance to play a major part and be a positive part of tomorrow.

My Brother

sagging your pants

you are being stereotype , daily

Please my brother

pull up your pants

and take your life back

Why allow the world to treat you like a

second class citizen

and be shunned

Why be belittled

Why be called names

like hoodlum or thug

My Brother

Pull up your sagging pants

and give my son

your brother

your nephew

another chance

Bury the Fad

Chose your own identity

Become a role model

for other boys

to see

Invest in your future

purchase a stern leather belt

and show our African Community

that you really care .

My Brother

Make a sister like me proud

So I can brag about

you all over town

He perhaps wants to show,
His big one quickly,
And make it rich.
Boys and men,
Have two heads,
And they all,
Irrespective of,
Color,
Caste,
Creed,
Nationality,
Want to only think,
With there lower heads.

It gives them stability,
And makes them feel,
The confidence,
Men are prone,
To be lacking.
Some like smacking,
Some like pants tight,
To show their inner ones’
Outline.

Men and boys,
Do it all the times.
Why can’t they have sagging pants?
When they cannot,
Easily show their shaggy ones.

Pull down their pants,
And then put them to shame,
Some have a small one,
Only in name.

So the smaller the one has,
The more he wants to show off,
Come try and take his pants off.

I know the trend started in prisons, where CO’s take away belts and shoelaces, but it boggles the mind that anyone would want to glorify and be identified with failed criminals.

Hi there!
