Final countdown

Killing field in party town nothing sacred burn it down
Loot the stores, burn the cop cars innocence lost in this town

Drug wars spill in off the street into a little girls sleep
Wars are fought and mothers weep for the sons poured out too cheap

Planes and cars and murder vests to fill the quotas of death
Theft and murder rule the streets that pay the price of our meth

Children die before they are born to parents having fun
Wealthy rapist, name over the door, caught in the long run

Broken promises, lies and deceit it's just business now
Politicians stealing their share, no use having a cow

I don't know when it will end but I swear it can't go on
Evil will destroy the wicked, judgment is sure to fall
Innocent blood cries out from the ground can you hear its call
Justice may wait but isn't blind and won't fall for a con

Author's Note
Written in 2020 after seeing a reporter with a burning city in the background saying riots are mostly peaceful. May be controversial you should probably skip this one if you are easily triggered. I believe poetry has to be able to step out of the box to be real.
