It is common
knowledge that Chicago has become a combat zone
In a war to
control drugs sales the felons have unleashed a murderous tone
Over 2500
shootings almost 500 killed in vicious attacks
The police
cannot begin to keep track
Mostly young
men with the lives snuffed out
Chicago is a
murderous place there is no doubt
Almost 3 out
of 4 victims are black and the same as to the shooters who are of the same race
Chicago is a
very, very dangerous and deadly place
Even the
mayor’s son walking outside his home was robbed but still alive
If a mayor’s
son is attacked near his home no wonder Chicago blacks struggle to survive
This is a
neighborhood which one would think is not a slum
But with
predators attracted to victims like sharks to tossed chum
How many
young black men have to be killed and maimed?
Before the
police are expanded to stop this shame?
This is a
tragedy of epic proportions that must come to an end
Where are
the Sharptons in protest against this killing trend?
