On South Rhodes Avenue
five people were found slain,
the crackle of gunfire
was their ultimate blood ties.

No one complained
some people mourned and cried
other ones said Death is nothing
people walk here for evil.

In South Rhodes Avenue
people don’t ask questions
guns are such a way of life
that they don’t even seek for answers.

Really impressive event! It is terrible when people get used to violence, crime and assassinations.

Your words give me just this strong impression of indifference and a sense of powerlessness.

Well rendered and written!

Love,
Margherita

Thank you Margherita for your interesting comment...I think like you that there is perhaps no solution to the problem of guns....It's a way of life but it had given so beautiful westerns and gangsters movies...People should abandon guns to the film makers it could be a solution...

  Love
