Bronx Street Corner

she became a new york city street corner fixture acted like its the only place to be acted like its the place for the persecutor to begin after all all men are guilty none are forgiven so she painted false hearted judges to prop up her proposition to subvert the natural truth she lied when it came down to the last hours but i was unsurprised i had seen her coming the deception was the rationalization means to the end just because you can lie means you should integrity means so much more when there is no shame in the game so once again i ask just because you can lie means you should isn't it about change or was that just part of the lie i walked away on a north bronx street corner never to return no regrets she had sold herself at every chance for two bits silver for a lies chance to shine but i will not be there to suffer the consequences just because you can lie means you should isn't it about change or was that just part of the lie
