Notes About The Poem

Atlanta

Atlanta, Georgia
Is filled with some smart people
The parks offer peace
'Til someone is killed by guns
Sometimes~stabbing, girl and dog

Nearly every night or even in daylight someone is killed in the Atlanta area (including several towns and counties), sometimes in twos.

Sotto Poet March 1, 2023 at 7:51 AM True thought unfortunately it's the same in so many big cities and it's increasingly worse. Be safe dear friend and thanks for sharing. Sara Kendrick March 1, 2023 at 8:20 AM I think they compete to be able which city has the least amount of crime. Sad, isn't it? Your visits and comments are uplifting. Sara

Victor Buhagiar March 1, 2023 at 7:47 AM Wouldn't want to live there. Sara Kendrick March 1, 2023 at 7:53 AM I no longer want to visit even though it has many interesting places like the botanical gardens, High Museum Of Arts, an aquarium, and many, many other things. Your comments are valuable. Sara
