We real cool. We
Left school. We
Lurk late. We
Strike straight. We
Sing sin. We
Thin gin. We
Jazz June. We
Die soon.

It means.... If you drop out of school and stay out all night
and do what ever you want.. yo can say you are cool all you would like...but you are not... and there is a good chance you will end up dead.

This poem uses development of verbs to explain its meaning. It begins with mild verbs ("left"), and progresses to harsher verbs ("die"). This poem is about kids going from cutting school to spiraling down all the way to thinning gin and dying. The final line tells you the consequences of their life in the fast lane.

This poem is a commentary on the sort of young people who think that they're smart for ignoring their education and getting into all manner of things that are bad for them. The final line, "We die soon," sums up exactly where attitudes such as this lead.

I like Real Life. Online is good if nothing is left in real life.
