Slammin Down On My City
SLAMMIN DOWN ON MY CITY
A Poem by Debbie_Philly
" About the crime in my city. "
SLAMMIN DOWN ON MY CITY
My city’s bleeding, needing, dying, babies crying
As bullets go flying past my window sill………
Do you think the violence will every stop, hating
Blazing, skating through our lives………..
Wake up City Of Brotherly Love, do you need
A shove, a hit……. Don’t spit on my streets
Liberty bell is going through hell, dwelling
Yelling, swelling from the pain……….
Stand up and be heard against the germ, the virus
Infecting our city, this plague is….. Not pretty
Love your neighbor as yourself, put your guns
Up on the shelf, please take pride within yourself
And help us live again.
