Green has sway

More murders in East Chicago today.
None of it matters, the green dollar has sway.
Drugs are the main cause of urban decay.
It goes on and on without any change
You gotta, know somebody's getting paid.
People are Dying in a Moral Hurricane.

R J. Elless Date: 2/23/2024 6:47:00 AM Pangie, thank you for your comments. I don't have anything against money. What I meant was it goes on and on; why don't the authorities stop it? I was raised 30 miles north of Detroit; they used to call it the murder capital of the world. Perhaps I am off track. Maybe to look the other way. The intended meaning. Nowadays, pick any large city. Have a great Day. XX Login to Reply

Panagiota Romios Date: 2/22/2024 6:52:00 PM Come to CA,, murders here also. Try NYC or SC. Chicago has no corner on murders or death anymore.. you know that’s my hometown and I thought I’d be safe on the West Coast. A joke.. I have nothing against money by the way. Because if you don’t have any money, there’s no food there’s no gas.. God never said $ was bad. and so what if you make five dollars and that I make one dollar. . People who hate money..try Cuba))) these money haters are not poor xx,Pangie Login to Reply

Leo Larry Amadore Date: 2/19/2024 10:05:00 AM I was attracted and intrigued by your title, and I liked your first few rhyming lines. It would have been very nice if you had continued the following lines with the same rhymes. Login to Reply R J. Elless Date: 2/19/2024 10:10:00 AM Thank you Leo. I appreciate your comments.
