THE YELLOW TAPE WILL SET YOU STRAIGHT

No Plagiarism!HeevOCD0VRidS9OVxIPaposted 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. 

286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9zDVvvPnL

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.

286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSPsB020b8

This place of disgrace 

Is outrageously dangerous,

Everything but safe. 

The domain of inhumane, 

In the shady sides 

Of crazy and insane. 

286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyyYtuTtzS

Drug deals and drive bys,

Folks strive to get high,

Some survive, others die,

Every day is a homicide. 

286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aNxu4gjTF

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. 

286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDTQ2L9cXb

Troubles on the horizon,

Unsurprisingly arising,

I'm always in fear,

Every day of the year 

Knowing it's near.

286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchgq5Kik1t

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.
