Killing Streets

The stinking stench of death
hangs heavy in the air
Society so devolved of caring
Excelling only in despair
Adults simply tired of life
Our children dying by the knife
Still on our streets the morons roam
Destroying the safety of our home
Not daring out after dark
The grim reality is completely stark
They carry knifes it makes them cool
Then a life in prison for being a fool
You didn't mean to take his life
Forgot for a second it was a knife
That split decision has cost you dear
Your murderous action stoked by fear
