"Sixth and Main"

The rainy corner
Of Sixth and Main.
The dealer pushes
Escape from pain.
While the homeless
Look for dry shelter.
A woman is fighting
In a bloody sweater.
The city drones on
Ignoring many pleas.
Some battle demons;
Others escape reality.
The bloody corner
Of Sixth and Main
A young child shot.
A bullet to the brain.
Struggles for life
Ends up in defeat.
Hell's flames grow
We all feel the heat.
Rich and the poor
Descending down.
Digging their graves
In scorched ground.
The hellish corner
Of Sixth and Main
The Devil punishes
With his eternal pain.
