Urban Complacency
nostrils filled with the asphalt rain
sewer systems and whirlpool drains
shadowed sun downs by one oclock
flashing lights and city cops
wailing sirens in traffic rush
taxi cabs and commuter bus
when will all the chaos stop
suicides from building tops
drive by shootings hit and run
abondonded buildings home for some
underneath the neon lights
murder death kill records heights
when will all the madness end
a vicious cycle starts again.
