Philadelphia By Victor Tripp

Trash along the curb line and on the streets

People walking around with growling bellies

From not enough to eat

Better not speak or look at anyone or their mean look

Or razor tongue will cut you down

Philadelphia is called the city of brotherly love

Here markers and monuments stand silent from all of those shot and

Killed honoring the young and old who have died

A fact that it's very clear and evident that more peace and human

Understanding should have been tried

I know for myself that in this big place

You cant make it on your very own

Because people in many large numbers find themselves lost and crying

All alone. I'm telling on philadelphia

Which is now my home
