Melissa Ross Poet Free verse

The Wars of the Streets

Let the beat rise and fall,
In the embrace of the notes,
I feel it,
Feel it,
Mean it,
Mean what?
Whatever may exit-
Your mouth,
Your mind,
Rewind,
Let’s restart this,
Never miss,
The streets,
In the city,
That taught you life,
That watched your strife,
Never miss,
Those who tore you,
Those who bloodied you,
Those who sent you back,
Beat you down,
Built your crown,
Of thorns,
In the wars,
Of the streets.
