Smash-And-Grab

Shootings here, violence there Smash-and-grab everywhere So it seems, but look again It’s a mostly urban scene How much longer can it be ~ To death our cities bleed

So sad Gershon and your poem aptly creates the painful images! I love cities and grew in one for most of my life, my memories are beautiful at least! Happy Sunday!

It sure is sad about our big cities, isn't it?... The country is where it's at now, I guess. Thanks, Mike. :) gw

Maybe there needs to be a chain of UN-DOLLAR STORES. Just come in and take what your "NEED".......

Perfect solution, John... akin to decriminalization: Just 'de-storify' merchandise. Then everyone can just come in and 'take what he/she needs.' Sounds like 'Another Day in Paradise.' ~ Phil Collins and Genesis
