SLAMMIN DOWN ON MY CITY

About the crime in my city.

 

SLAMMIN  DOWN ON MY CITY

 

 

My city’s bleeding, needing, dying, babies crying

As bullets go flying past my window cill………

Do you think the violence will every stop, hating

Blazing, skating through our lives………..

 

 

Wake up City Of Brotherly Love, do you need

A shove, a hit……. Don’t spit on my streets

Liberty bell is going through hell, dwelling

Yelling, swelling from the pain……….

 

 

Stand up and be heard against the germ, the virus

Infecting our city, this plague is….. Not pretty

Love your neighbor as yourself, put your guns

Up on the shelf, please take pride within yourself

And help us live again.

I guess those of us watching Hockey games or seeing certain movies never get the total picture of your city as you have painted with words here. Thank you for writing this poem-Bless you
