I told you so.....

Someone got him into something
He couldn't get loose
Between his family and his friends
His friends he had to choose

They taught him how to use his hands
How to shoot a gun
They taught him how to steal a car
Their idea of fun

They showed him how to fight
How to back up his friends
In the night behind peoples cars
His body he should blend

His parents didn't know these things
The good friends were all scared
The kids he hung around with
Weren't the kids who'd care

His best friend was a young girl
She tried to change his ways
When the gang signs were thrown up
She could never make him stay

One night they had an argument
And he was called to ride
If only he knew the danger
In his room he might hide

He stood on the street that night
With his "loyal gang"
The from the side that he was on
At last he heard a bang!

He seen his "friends" scatter
No one stayed to help
After all the promises he made
Their's were never kept

An ambulance was called
She came to see him there
He seen her face above his head
Her eyes held no care

"If you had of listened to me
When i begged you not to go
Maybe I wouldn't have the chance to say
Hey i told you so"

She walked out of the room
His heart breaking into
With a breath that hurt his wound
He whispered, "Thank you."

note to reader: i don't care who you are, any gang is a bad gang, people put their lives in danger to make this world to be worse off than what it is, if you know someone who is in a gang, try to talk them out of it and if they really respected your friendship they would at lease try....if you know that something is about to go down, steer clear of that area and call the cops, no one should die or get shot at over anything!
thanks for reading :)

    Great poem, great message.
    The last stanza didn't flow nor rhyme like the rest, but it was so good overall that you just had to like it.
