Is There No End

IS THERE NO END Boom, Boom- goes the night Rattle tat-tat, they fight High-pitched screaming pierces the sky- As another young person prepares to die- Turn on the news A child is crying-cause- they have been abused- While mom is pleading for justice to be served- Across the city-another person is hurt- __NEWS FLASH__ Drunk driver’s car jumped the curve- Schools are no longer safe to attend- Drive-by shootings-gang fighting-drugs Is there no end? Ladies pushing babies-stops to buy crack Baby starts crying-mom goes “whack”! Police cruise down the streets-shakes their heads They blame the parents for the education they never got- Knowing they are being mocked; they surmise that these streets are mean The people are lost and confused- The children are neglected and abused- Is there no end? Boom, boom goes the night Rattle-tat-tat-they fight High-pitched screaming pierces the sky- As another young person prepares to die-
