We Real Cool

This poem makes me think of a group of school rebels. Proud that they dropped out of school to live it up. A poem about a group of kids who think they are too cool for school. Out drinking "Thin Gin", dancing "Jazz June", and staying out late "Lurk late". This lifestyle of sinful living leads to early death possibly "Die Soon"? This poem has meaning no matter what decade. Today it makes a lot of sense when I think about gang life.
