Corner Drug Store


the cops beat up another dope dealer today
sympathy was a tall lanky dude
who hid around the corner
and justice was a short blind guy
who could care less what he may have seen.

interesting and thought provoking write Grover, but would I expect less than that from you?  Enjoyed, as always.

Appreciated!
Not caring is dangerous and still it's true, it's not easy to get involved, even in the name of justice.
Love, Margherita

When I seen the title the first thought was of the corner drug store of my childhood.
My friend and I would run filled with laughter because we knew we would receive free water at the soda fountain. Or sitting behind the door reading comic books without fear.
Your corner drug store is no longer filled with innocence and beauty. What a shame.
