The Gangsters Win
18 murders in 24 hours
in Chicago, May 31
Another day of anarchy
Another day of fun
Police exhausted
Stretched too thin
Wear them out
Gangsters win
Now they're working
12-hour shifts
With no days off
What a gift --
To the shooters
Who lick their lips
Make their plans
~ City's fabric to rip
