Marilyn Hernandez Poet Rhyme

The Streets of Chaos

Kids are swearing
Strangers staring
Mothers are yelling
Nightwalkers selling
In the streets of chaos
 
Thieves are stealing
Drug dealers, dealing
Bums are pleading
Victims bleeding
In the streets of chaos
 
Perverts are raping
Convicts escaping
Policemen are beating
Con artist cheating
In the streets of chaos
 
Butchers are carving
Children starving
Pigs are looting
Gangsters shooting
In the streets of chaos
 
Players are using
Drunkards abusing
People are killing
Blood spilling
In the streets of chaos

The diseased are infecting
Fathers, neglecting
The city is crying
'Cause people are dying
In the streets of chaos
