Here in Baltimore people are being shot down everyday, this time a shootout dawned my neighborhood.

Five loud bangs
worst kind of things
I was sitting on
the sofa sleep
Pray to the Lord
my life I'll keep

Thought it was
a knock on the door
Come to find out
it was gun shots four
then add one more
Neighborhoods great
still it would be better
in a safer state

Police found car
windows shot out
After the shootout
Bullet holes in some of
the neighbors windows
Just another night
home on the range
Some day I hope
things change

I am working on a short story on the very subject of violence, so I believe the Lord brought me here to your poems tonight, I am also going to spend some time playing catch up, you have so many poems I have yet to read, thank you for sharing them here.

We have all got to help make that change, neighborhood watches, being aware of what's going on around us and then have the courage to report what we saw. Well done poet, entrancing write. Best regards, Bonnie
