Bombs over Broad StreetA Poem by TayAnother day another casualty Soldiers in casual tees No fear No cause Drip bodies so casually Fallen ones seen as royalty We fight to show loyalty A civil war on our own soil Foot soldiers collect spoils White Powder Contraband, purchased in cold blood In exchange for little children 6 feet in the cold mud I’m not down for the cause I’m not down for the game I’m not down for the fight But if I don’t I’ll be shamed Hear Jesus callin’ my name And I’m callin’ him too Keep the Blood inside my veins Keep callin’ it blue I feel arising a change or something that I can do Like the leaders we had, so scarce and so few P.O.W. projects, refugee Crack houses More supply more demand more illiterate crack spouses Cadillac tanks one gun on the side Shoot at enemy tanks, 911 on the side Casualties in the millions Bystanders and civilians I approach the battlefield gunshots getting nearer Lookin’ in the soldiers face is like lookin’ I a mirror God cryin’ for the people in my head I can hear her Feet planted no reason to fear Sir To be remembered by Nephews Daughters and sons Last words to my Militia what good have you done?
