I'm more into rap than poetry but I've been getting into writing poems to improve my skills as a rapper. I don't want to rap for money or to be an entertainer, I want to shed light on some issues that plague the American south that have drastically affected myself, my community and many others in this region. Nobody is really talking about this stuff and I just want to do something to bring attention to it which is why I've been trying to get better at writing. This is just a little poem I wrote to talk about a major issue in my hometown.

Bowling Green's Underbelly

The odor of burning marijuana reeks from a room at the Days Inn I like the setup with marijuana since it's pretty much a speeding ticket in a lot of places now
Two cops were on the scene, pure coincidence
They knock on the door,
"Who is it?"
"It's the Bowling Green Police on a routine visit" sounds like an excuse to knock on smelly doors I dig it
No reply, only a quiet "hush"
Followed by the sound of a toilet flush
Now the door opens, 
It ain't hard to tell what they been smoking,
But that ain't all, something's odd
A suspicious bag gave em probable cause
The cops bust in, what'ya know? I don't like 'whatya know?' There's prolly a better way to phrase and still rhyme with coke
Looked under the bed and found a bag of coke
Now in the nightstand, they found a stash of heroin maybe get to the point that these were leftover from a previous group since things were flushed hoping to solve the problem, or planted...
I ain't spitting fiction, Read this in the Daily News
Only last weekend make it more personal read in the news is less credible
I bet you think it's an isolated incident,
But pay attention and the issue's evident
Underneath the guise of regularity, I like this line
Bowling Green has a side that I find scary
Every day more drugs pass through
It's like an epidemic it's an epidemic
Heroin is spreading like the common flu
I know this for a fact,
Just six years ago I lived with my mom,
and she was addicted to crack using crack as an example to prove you know about heroin, maybe you can leave out or change, 'I know this for a fact' 
Yet there's rarely an arrest
Man, are the cops taking a rest? I don't believe arrests should improve the problem, especially if planting is a problem
Off the top of my head
There were about 8 bank robberies last year
All of em unsolved, do ya'll even want my respect? So let's say they solve the bank robberies, are they to blame for drugs? CIA and FBI smuggle drugs, but who pushes them on kids? 
This town may not have a ghetto
But drugs and violence are here, it shows
Everybody can keep living blind,
Act like your problems aren't mine, if these problems are yours, I want the story to be more personal, it's okay to spread fiction if the point is true
But this has gone on too long and it's just a matter of time
Before more of em wise up and realize
Bowling Green, Ky is a low life's paradise this must be the police fault.
Your flow is nice, only a few questionable details, thanks for posting
