Close My Bedroom Door Poem by Dorsey Baker

Close my bedroom door
I'm living
in the house of too
many monsters
close my bedroom door
I think somebody
is gonna get
shot
wounded or killed
close my bedroom door
I don't want to see
all that blood
on the wall
close my bedroom door
I don't want to watch
nobody hit nobody
close my bedroom door
I don't want to be no witness
hero or victim
close my bedroom door
the neighbors
are on the telephone
close my bedroom door
I don't want to
talk to the police!
