"Juvenile Delinquent"
Written by: Blk Sapphire

The young and the rampant:
Heavy eyelids, red stained irises, sunken cheeks
Full red smeared lips, tight jeans, red bandana
Drawn in eyebrows, penciled lips, much too low of a pair of low-rise jeans
Baggy pants, chains and medallions, pocketed guns
Poor, cruel, uneducated
Is that the definition of a delinquent?

The young and the proper:
Bright eyes, high cheekbones, sweet smile
Tweed sweater, bubble gum lips, pleated skirt
Necktie, waistband with a belt, brown loafers
Neo-grunge, Haute Couture, European fashion
Middle to high class, righteous, educated
Or is this the definition of a delinquent?

Everyone has a misconception of both sides
The proper has to be the opposite of the delinquent
By no means can they be the same
Yet isn't the word "society" a homogenous noun?
In this time, there is no such thing
Society is divided
Class by class
Stereotype upon stereotype
Maybe it's time for the quarter to be flipped
And for it to land on tails, instead of heads
Time to go left instead of right
Maybe redefine what we know
What we believe to be the juvenile delinquent nowadays

Let's aim the gun at a new target
At the new criminal
