The Heels and Sneakers of the Ghetto Romeo and Juliet

by Offishall xQuiiZiT Poet   Sep 26, 2012


Juliet was living right across the street
From Tracy, and Trina, Nikki, and Kadeem
Tracy and Trina were both teenage twins
and Kadeem was a player
Romeo's old friend

Romeo lived right down the block
Right around the corner
in the gang infested blocks
Involved in Law And Order
And him in Juliet been dating for a year
But to put her in any danger
was mostly his fear

Juliet was getting ready
Ready to go see Romeo
But she didnt know what to wear
but wanted to impress him though
She looked through her closet and took out this box
This box that held heels...heels she could rock

Romeo was getting ready
Ready to see his Juliet
But he wanted to look different
He Wanted to dress and look fresh
so he threw on a fitted with some baggy denim jeans
And with his Fresh Nike Sneakers
With his important man of means

Juliet was heading out
In her Red High heels
but than came across
A nice looking Automobile
Tracy and Trina was standing on the side
about to offer their homegirl
A little lonq ride

Juliet nodded no
And than continued on her way
But it seemed that Tracy and Trina
Had something else to say
They asked her where she was going
And if they could know
And Juliet replied
"To go see Romeo"

Tracy and Trina both looked at eachother
And said "Ya'll are good yall deserve one another"
Juliet than smiled
And continued on her way
And told herself
"this is my day"

On the other side of town
A man predicted on the block
that something will happen
around four o clock
he didnt know the individual
or the person by their name
but he knew theyll be gone
when the prediction already came
he than started to think
and than got upset
when he found it was a female
and her name was juliet
he than started to pray
and than closed his eyes
so sad she was in love
and that she was going to die

Romeo headed out
Looking sexy and fly
And saw his friend Kadeem
who was His old Homie
he was with Shenelle
A chick from the hood
Kadeem always was in something
Up to bad and never good
"Why you looking fresh.man..Romeo whats the catch?"
"My friend its my girl I'm going to see Juliet"
KAdeem gave him a pound
and then looked at shenelle
"you see that shawty? thats loves magic spell"
Romeo than continued
and walked on his way
"I think this is going to be a very good day"

"ROMEO!"
"JULIET"
they both hugged eachother
and even after their little kiss
they both loved one another
but something stopped their moment
a shot of bullets came their way
one hit juliet
and her world started to fade
the car that shot death
have swerved around the block
and romeo just noticed
it was 4 o clock
he than saw juliet
lying on the ground
with her back to the concrete and
not making a sound

she than opened her mouth
and spoke to romeo
its ok my love
its just my time to go
ill be here for you if you need me
right here in this spot
even though you wouldnt see me
i'll miss you a whole lot

romeo started to cry
as he held her in his arms
thats all he intended to do
was keep her safe from harm
here was his future
fading away in his hands
he didnt wanna let her go
but he had to understand
the ambulance have came
and took her out his arms
he clicked back to reality
and they annouced she was gone

he than ran home
and looked under his bed
"this is the last place i put it"
was all that he said
he took one bullet
that he kissed and put it in
he remember juliets smile
and the way that she grinned
he loved the hell out of her
and didnt plan for this to be
I LOVE YOU JULIET
AND I DONT WANT YOU TO LEAVE!!!

he ran back to the scene
where her blood still sat
laid down in her postion
and than he copped back
his world was fading quick
and he just closed his eyes
and everyone on the block
got the news romeo died

you see this readers
this is what i mean
dangers is with us everywhere
even though it may not seem
romeo and juliet was in love
and everything happened in one day
thats why when love calls
listen to what it has to say
but keep this in mind
that others envy
and like the predicter did
he saw things clearly
everyday is a dream
and live it to the fullest
because both these lovers lives
was taken by a bullet
but as the heels stand hiqh
and the sneakers hang low
we will never forget the ghetto story
of juliet and romeo
