Gun shots rang out so much that sometimes they can go un-noticed, but too often they hit there mark! Ripping through flesh, years of memories, dreams, aspiration, families. That split second it takes that bullet to leave the barrell of the killers gun! The victim only heard the shots, but never saw the bullet. Laying on the ground bleeding, chest burning where the bullet entered but never exited. Once the bullet entered into the chest cavity, it exploded! DOA! Family members slowly showing up to the scene! Screams break through the silence, "MY BABY"!!! That scream can only come from the mouth of a mother. A mother that has just seen a horrible thing happen the their child. As he/she lay there bleeding, movement is none, pulse is undetectable.
The ambulance stages a blocc away, they won't come in until the police show up and deem it safe. Finally the paramedics is signaled in, CPR is started, and into the ambulance it is. DOA! The medics stare at eachother, silent, no one could say a word. Then, under her breath, the black medic said "I'm so tired of this shit"! The fifth victim she attended to today that went DOA
While rich congresmen and women on the far right of the Republican Party pass legislation further hendering the poverty strickened neighborhoods in our city! Making it so we can't even police our cities! The children of the inner city neighborhoods will continue to see death, and continue to die! Until the adults in those neighborhoods stand up, and vote the people in that will fight for them, bringing change... Death will continue to live amongst them! It's time to stop playing, and take a stand!
