BRIEFLY

On this faithful day
Sudden gunshots everywhere 
People running scattered 
It's a dispute in my city
Gunshots everyday 
So many innocent lives were taken unlawfully 
People dies everyday just like mayflies.

Houses were burnt down 
Leaving many homeless 
Endangering so many lives 
Agony everywhere 
But the killing continues, no seizing of fire
Participants giving scores within themselves 
Scores of numbers of the people they've killed.

Circle keeps repeating 
Everyone avenging, death of their lost ones
It was a blood bath, until there was a victor
Prominent men in the city 
Involved the government and more 
Just like karma always visits, educating and repaying 
Peace at last, amidst grief and vengeance 
Welcome to the coolest city in the world.
