    Turning The Page

    Walking down the street

    there is a homeless man

    with no coat, trodding in the sleet

    I couldn't help but ponder

    how such a thing could happen

    to this land of dreams, well, I wonder

    I commend those people without a home

    that have to live out in the cold

    left in the brisk winter to roam

    I ne'er say I could be so bold.

    America's streets, and violence grows

    people have gone astray

    anger they feel and know

    feeling there is no other way

    venting their anger, gun in tow

    innocent people die from their rage

    violent streets that bleed

    from the anger in a cage

    violence is what the world don't need

    Americans need to turn the page.
