Delete the Streets

by Natalie84   Oct 19, 2007


Wounded by violence
Cursed by the streets
Blood rest
At a mother's feet

Late kin
Lifted by gun's boulevard
Young brothers and sisters
Left in sorrow
Eternally scarred

Youthful footsteps
Trailing upon hostility
Following the example
Of hatred and brutality
Just another generation
Caught in the bloodshed

Victims to the street
Seized by the squad
The adolescent of struggle
Has new family now
One more naiive soul
Trapped in a vicious battle
To which sadly
Has no end

Tears of pain
Crying out
As families witness
Sadistic destruction

Caught in the streets
Consumed by the fight
Through this violent plight
Another piece of our future
Dies tonight...

*Thank you Sunny!

    Oh wow the detail in this is stunning. The structureless flow is so great; it seems to be whimsical across the page, despite the more serious of a topic.

    This really made me think... Whole poem is deep and excellently written, every stanza contains great descriptions and hollow truth about reality. Enjoyable and touching piece, filled with meaningful thoughts.
    The ending is so effective, so true and sad...
    5/5 from me
