"FATED"

"Though I walk through the valley
Cast, the shadows of death
I fear, I know evil has expelled another breath..."

South Central L.A...
Vine & Crenshaw two lil children
two hours ago at play...
the streets vomited violence
now shattered in crimson
bullet splattered they lay...

New hope, in Cape Hope
South Africa
the natives need a light
ships returning with bounties
opulence a delight
Yet, nature slapped a cruel
hand at fate, a crew of thirty
Loss killed Hope's spark
Now the bright of day appears
completely dark...

New chapter, honeymoon  bound
Cabo San Lucas, México
una muy bonita escapada

A week of pleasure
newly wedded couple
weighted with such promise
though the reaper's 'onus' is
Simply, "da nada"

Central Park, New York
night joggers no longer victim
decades have washed clean
the methods of how the criminal
elements have picked them
But it is of no consolation to Joe
his drops dead by an act of God
damn...lightening struck his heart
wouldn't you know? So healthy
so young, still it was his time to go...

"And though I walk thru the valley
and shadows of death, I shall fear no
evil, even with my last breath..."
