She Was Ripped Out of My Life

wall streets greed

ripped through my life

like bullets from a machinegun

ripping me from the middle class

and ripping her out of my life

ripping her beautiful eyes

her beautiful smile

her beautiful caresses

her beautiful voice

her beautiful comforts

gone for good.
