"Philadelphia"

"Philadelphia"
Philadelphia’s heard of,
The city of brotherly love.
The highest crime rate,
The weight of love dropped to hate.
Pennsylvania State,
Philadelphia’s the gate.

Every day on the news,
Tragedies from decisions people choose.
Some pray but most don’t freeze,
To perceive life in others shoes.

This maniac at the abortion clinic,
The owner was whack and sick.
A house of horrors behind hospital doors,
Murdering babies, covering the floors.
Ritalin and zanies, hiding in the drawers.

Kensington, this killer doesn’t use a gun.
A man’s strangling people for fun.
Raping women dumb, kills them done.
He’s on the run.
New Harlem, gun shots,
No alarms come.

Murderers, burglars, schizophrenic babblers.
The most, the worst, here it occurs.
Messed up hogs with no jobs,
Their neighbors that just slaughtered your dogs.
Popping pills like tic-tacs.
Stealing and dealing drugs to pay tax.
Addicts using tactics and tricks to get their next fix.
Michael Vick, dog abuse makes you sick.
But he plays the ball quick.

This is Philadelphia,
Every culture’s got a mafia.
Kids sipping vodka trying to be a gangsta.
Cities corrupt, another mans cuffed,
Now his brother’s got to erupt.
Clicks and gangs clips a gun just to hear how it bangs,
Youngling’s potential hangs.
His grills resemble fangs.
Violent, rose since an infant.
Kids using aggression to leave an imprint.

Kids want to fight to prove best.
Called a pussy if you don’t test.
Friends and enemies interest,
Crowd around and fest.
The pest who started the fight shows up in a vest,
Raises a gun and shoots his enemy in the chest,
And disappears from arrest.
Kid’s lying in his blood nest.
City of brotherly love, not so blessed.
R.I.P friend’s pity, holding their crest,
Praying in heaven he’ll rest.
Nobody guessed,
But they both lost.
The fight to be best,
Two lives cost.
