Can you see that light
when everything's dark?
Can you see it?
Right there?
Its just within sight.
Obstacles surround you
through the darkness and the din
Regardless of the preachers:
Everyone sins.
People try to hurt you
by saying harsh lies
they think that they will scar you
but they fail when they try.
Yeah, that's right: they fail when they try,
Cause you know that you'll conquer;
you'll fly sky high.
It don't matter the color of ya skin,
what does matter is
what you have within.
People that are livin' on the
streets these days,
can't find homes, so they stick to bad ways.
Drugs, theft, even prostitution
people resort to these as solutions.
Boys, girls, kids in the hood
according to the uptight: up to no good.
There are worse things
than vampires with fangs:
Drugs, booze, guns, gangs.
Can we make this world better
than what it is now?
We can do it yes; someway, somehow.
Dancing, singing, rapping,
hip-hop, pop, break-dance too
We can all get together and form something new.
Can you see that light
at the end of the tunnel?
Head towards it; don't look for trouble
obstacles surround you in good times and bad
If there's no hope in the air,
think about friends that you have.
Can you see that light
when everything's dark?
Can you see it?
Right there?
It's just within sight.

It was interesting how you used a definite rhyme scheme in the beginning and then slowly let it fade out as the poem progressed.
