I’m from Augusta
March 24, 2016
I’m from Augusta, where the good die young.
And fights break out of nowhere.
Where the mall or movies is no longer safe.
Where there’s no longer fighting one on one, but
to jump instead.
I’m from Augusta, where teachers would rather throw a worksheet on your desk than teach.
Where you are still judged by the race you are.
Where it’s better to record a fight than break it up.
Where we have more candelights than graduation parties from Augusta.
Where mothers stay up late at night wondering what they could have done to protect their child before it’s too late.
I hate to say it, but I’m from Augusta.
I hate this. It’s not the city. It’s the people. There is bad in every city. We live in America. There is no place that is entirely GREAT. Not being rude or anything, I just hate when people bash Augusta or any city for that matter because of crime or racial issues. What city doesn’t have these issues? If you can answer that question for me.. My opinion of this article would change.
