Complacency.
There is pain
in too many
communities.
Too many murders
that
go
missing.
I saw a man die
the other day,
watched him scream
for God
as every man
does
in the last few minutes.
When me and Leez,
walked outside
we'd catch the whiff
of death
and our nostrils
wouldn't turn.
A dude was getting his twists re-done,
as the dying man's
entrails
revolted in his gut
and he cleared himself,
ready for death.
You could say there's a genocide
in America,
we just turn our noses
up to it.
With averted eyes
people walk past
the dangerous places,
but the most dangerous place
is complacency
and people live with that
every day.
