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. By: Debbie Kelly~
