Lights adorn trees and over hang the streets. People lay on the Sidewalk because they have nowhere to sleep. Someone was shopping just the other day when someone with a gun took her life away. Now her children are left all alone, mommy was killed for her purse and her phone. People are afraid to leave their homes, they cannot go to work because crime is rampant in the streets. Politicians don't seem to care that they can't buy food to eat. Life seems so gloomy, there is no goodwill towards men. People who should be family have forsaken each other and live in pain. What has become of our world, it is a crying shame. As I sit and grieve about the darkness that has gone on for so long. I cry silently wondering where the joy has gone?
