Ghetto Streets (Revised)

Ghetto Streets
Filled with misery
Black feet
Pitter Patter
On the street
From the soul
A mother’s cry
No peace is found

There it goes
Red blood seeping
Sister’s weeping
Shhh
The family’s sleeping
Never quiet always
Creeping

Sirens gleaming
Sounds that I hear
Everyday
Loud cries full of fear
“Can’t take that pain
Momma!” I say
And there it goes

That rumbling cry
From my soul I
Weep
Weep
Weep
For my dear
Ghetto Streets


~1 Luv~
