POEM: Black Diamond Generation


Black Diamond Generation

Black Diamond Generation - proud to be
I don't allow just any old thing to stop me
I've got resilience, charm and diplomacy
yet I know when to say the blame should be on me
But I try to look past that kind of game
because I never want my behavior to be crappy or lame
and don't get it twisted I'm not looking for fame
but I have to be proud of my ancestor's name
They have left a great legacy for us to follow
and I surely don't see it to be like a pill to swallow
but instead an opportunity to set a positive trend
and link with a great group of family and friends
who have like minds and want to achieve greatness
and who see beyond the struggles and slackness
cause anyone who wants to make positive change
has to know that there's always up and downs in this life game
