THE YELLOW TAPE WILL SET YOU STRAIGHT

No Plagiarism!SI0jkainTpmQPhDRvEejposted 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. 

287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFukFCSwDrO

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.

287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9jK28lqSO

This place of disgrace 

Is outrageously dangerous,

Everything but safe. 

The domain of inhumane, 

In the shady sides 

Of crazy and insane. 

287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPgbBZlZBA

Drug deals and drive bys,

Folks strive to get high,

Some survive, others die,

Every day is a homicide. 

287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvg8gLVm3w

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. 

287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtUQ6Wdl8t

Troubles on the horizon,

Unsurprisingly arising,

I'm always in fear,

Every day of the year 

Knowing it's near.

287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau2kGxNZBf

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.

287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKGN3ywUeL

Where the yellow tape sets you straight!
