Paintbrush

Chi town death town three years old shot in the head town sick town businesses burning down town white flight town chi-town-ghost town another 14 dead over the weekend town the whole fn city can't breath chi-town death clowns juggling tombstones town riot town tonight-another bloody night town A small Baptist church sits in the middle of chi town "the well of hope": it whispers in small black letters night time-gang graffiti overtakes faith pisses in the collection plate- In the morning the pastor searches the broom closet for a paintbrush and only finds a laughing witch- there's no answers to questions the people no longer ask.
