No Plagiarism!XyLpi378c1Zy7kN1kXeKposted 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. 

351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYpGollfXO

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.

351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7ZRLOaEtv

This place of disgrace 

Is outrageously dangerous,

Everything but safe. 

The domain of inhumane, 

In the shady sides 

Of crazy and insane. 

351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQw2v0K9Cx

Drug deals and drive bys,

Folks strive to get high,

Some survive, others die,

Every day is a homicide. 

351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcreB454Oni

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. 

351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6Ngh1PBSq

Troubles on the horizon,

Unsurprisingly arising,

I'm always in fear,

Every day of the year 

Knowing it's near.

351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQry2Tfm78

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.

Where the yellow tape sets you straight!
