Clown Town

Chi town
death town
three years old and 
shot in the head town
sick town
businesses burning downtown
white flight town
chi-town-ghost town
knife fight on the L town
another 14 dead over the weekend town
the whole fn city can't breathe town
Obama fled Chi town to live in white town
juggling tombstones town
riot town
tonight-another bloody night town
bleed out the middle-class town
corporation leaving town
losing tax base town
bears are leaving town
the town is going down town
town run by fat cats and skinny clowns, town.
