Killadelphia Freedom

Freedom of this city,
Lack of LOVE,
What is your right?
The right to maliciously murder,
To beat and burn brains,
Drive the average insane,
Feel the pain,
See the candles,
See the vigils,
No remorse?
No repentance?
Realize,
One day all will rise,
Against this filth,
Against this violence,
Then the guilty-
Will be found out,
Smoked out,
No one will cry,
When the killers die,
We’ll make a new high,
The people will be proud,
The streets will be loud,
No more destruction,
At least a reduction,
Come together,
I urge you,
Encourage you,
One of the first cities,
Is burning,
It’s churning,
With anger and thievery,
I need you to believe with me,
We can better our blocks,
Never afraid to take walks,
We march,
For freedom,
From the death,
From the hate,
Change our fate,
Save our city.
