For Chicago
as mayor Rahm Emanuel has been a disaster
During his
tenure the gun violence he could not master
Too many
people of color were killing people of the same color of skin
Murder
stalked the streets daily and safety could not win
Emanuel was viewed
as helpless and seemed to the victims blame
The
defenseless citizens were to the thugs fair game
As Chicago
descended into a pock marked hell
Growing
resentment over the lack of leadership of Emanuel
Today he
delivered to the Windy City a surprise shock
An
announcement that reelection to another term he would not stalk
After
protests over violence smart enough to believe voters would balk
Knowing his
credibility leaks from his election boat he could not caulk
Lord Acton
once said all power corrupts but absolute power corrupts
When
politicians take voting blocks for granted accountability sucks
Chicago has
been ruled by Democratic mayors for 91 years
As to wrath
of the voters for their failures they are without fear
Safe in
their office there is little incentive to perform
Without
accountability failure in terms of schools and safety is the norm
Emanuel is
the product of big cities ruled by Blues
Secure in
the belief always to be reelected no matter what they do or fail to do
The
candidates vying for Emanuel’s job
Must advance
a plan to curb the thugs who murder, maim or rob
Ere jobs
will not come into the inner city
For
employers. safety has to be the driving key
