Altercations strike the neighborhood.
Guns,
Knives,
Bullets,
Lives have been taken by the darkside,
Children,
Wives,
Baby's,
Silent cries, from the horror that comes from another driveby.
Husbands,
Boyfriends,
Girlfriends,
Why? ..
One ask himself..Why did they have to die?
Alcohol,
Drugs,
Dope dealers and thugs, sitting on every corner,
trying to make your daughter a lady,
Always trying to warn her.
Life,
Time,
Death,
Blind to the times of the dangerous mind.
For i do understand,
Cause ones husband was taken away from thee by another man.
Fears,
Tears,
Months,
Years of hard times,
For i am a victim of crime.
