Twilight Blues - ALLONE

Street veterans with no heroes or heroins, just the one they’re peddling

And inject in them, as they morn the absence of dead heroes that protected them

In the wreckage left of this haggard urban

Compassion abandoned gangland babylong-gone

Tots nimbly naively hopscotch in father figure faded off chalk shapes

Where mothers hope to keep their daughters safe

And son’s are lost of they’re caught going on the train the wrong way

Or were engaged in ball too late, where girls just grown are awfully raped

Old enough to want escape young enough though to recall a game

Of jump rope with caution tape

Synchronizing steps with symphonies acquired

By the wolf-gang war near gunshots fired

While you can barely hear the distant diabolic whining

Of dominantly dirty cop’s sirens

The good ones are frightened

And the bad ones are frightening

And frankly its tiring

The plethora of reports teen orphans call in About how often reports reap poor brothers fallen

We all wish it would halt, yet don’t help stop it The only offered caliber education at a constant

Obtained is retaining what the stock of a Glock is And if you don’t have a quick draw kid you’ll retain some lead

You can bet they won’t be quick to draw your shape on the cement

As the days event’s of drug hustles remain swept

Under the rug smuggled, laying it over blood puddles

For the white white collar numbskulls

Who’ve never succumbed to struggle

To get offended or become puzzled

By the image of a human skull imbued with slugs

We just damn up the flood of the damned so they’re comfortable

In their monochromatic leave it to beaver lives

Don’t want em to panic, grieve or be surprised

So they continue producing products to keep us enticed

Including the kids killed commanded in streets each night

By coveting veteran gang’s leaders to fight

For colors more important for them than stars, stripes and eagle’s flight

That floats above most of us that seem to like to believe we’re all alright

But come down to our town and see some sights

Observe some of these evil plights

Your views of peace just might

Change if you can escape and leave with your life
