Prayer for a New Beginning Death breathes loudly on the street. The pulse of the city is erratic At Best. Sometimes spurting out, Often barely beating when the Police cruiser nears. Government of the people, Death breathes loudly on the street. Brick crumbles on brick, Pavement dissolves into mud. Shiny chain link and razor Wire keeps the natives out Or the hunted in. ...by the people, Death breathes loudly on the street. Night falling with the sound Of triple locks sliding home. Nervous faces peek quickly around Corners. Cream pie whites of eyes with tired lines of Red in black faces. ...and for the people, Death breathes loudly on the street. A white Lincoln slinks up, Like a cat in the night, Its lights dimmed. The whir of automatic windows and the RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT. Another innocent Saint of the Streets is Anointed in the deathly rain of a 9MM. ...shall not perish from the earth. MHH 1.16.15
