THE YELLOW TAPE WILL SET YOU STRAIGHT

No Plagiarism!ynV1WJT81dEdXSUVVpC8posted on PＥNAＮＡ

These concrete streets

Beneath my feet

Is where I eat and breathe, 

And sleep at night. 

Tucked in tight  

Beneath the street lights,

In these city blocks

Of culture shock. 

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCDNUx77Ei

A result of my faults,

From the choices I made.

Got burned by the fire,

And my life went sour,

On a downward spiral.

Now I must pay,

For I learned the hard way.

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4gVuhbiWM

This place of disgrace 

Is outrageously dangerous,

Everything but safe. 

The domain of inhumane, 

In the shady sides 

Of crazy and insane. 

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem9dFUsAKV

Drug deals and drive bys,

Folks strive to get high,

Some survive, others die,

Every day is a homicide. 

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhIALyT11X

Just the other day 

I was mugged by a thug,

Held a gun to my head,

Ten seconds of dread,

And I thought I was dead. 

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjRHp3ea4C

Troubles on the horizon,

Unsurprisingly arising,

I'm always in fear,

Every day of the year 

Knowing it's near.

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpgid0g8fu

These concrete streets 

Beneath my feet,

Is where crime is prime 

And the heat gets deep.

Where lives overturn

And bridges burn.

Where tables turn 

And lessons are learned.
