Violence begets violence And ignorance just does the same I watch my city break out into riots And our pharmacies go up in flames I watch as idiots try to tell me about it And act like they can relate When they know nothing about this city Except what they read on the planes Charm City? More like Harm City More like wake up in the dark city Got no love for this farcity The cops and thugs are at war, shitty From both ends There's no end This fire is fueled by both men Color irrelevant both sinned And what have we learned from ignorance This is my city You just watching So just keep your thoughts But please stop talking
Nicely written but the message of your poem seems to be 'do nothing whilst you watch the world burn'?
As well written as ever. Strait up sounds like Baltimore. My buddy is from Bay area and kinda sounds how he'd describe his city."A city in shambles"
Even though im not a resident of Baltimore anymore, i still consider it my city. Its a sad sight to see.
But, does that poem mean that 'you don't know my life, you don't know the hard life of the world'? If you don't mind me asking.....
Judging by the last few bars, hes addressing the ppl that are talking too much and telling us he loves his city and naysayers need to shut up.
pretty close. I'm also saying that people like the media reporters, and the "professional protesters" do nothing but fan the flames to fill their own pockets or justify their own causes. Speaking about things they know nothing about. This is a war fueled by ignorance on both ends of the spectrum and nobody is winning.
Crazy times... Lots of disinformation. I remember all the stories from '68. My grandfather had to sit on the porch with a shotgun and his pit bull in Woodberry. My grandmother made sandwiches for the national guard. They sent my aunts to deliver. This is what happens when you let people get into the heads of your children. I'll be there. Stay safe Baltimore!
