Scary Gary Poem by LaKesha Davis

Gloomy, dark, and full of death

Homes abandoned right to left

Pimps and drug dealers wear the crown

Hoes and crackheads all bow down

It's no lie Garys' where I'm from

May be the first stop when the wrath does come

When I visit I'm counting the days

It doesn't take long to get wrapped in the haze

How can some have no remorse

The killers of Gary will show you of course

Trash and dead bodies litter the ground

Many people missing and will not be found

Druggies and drunks walk the street

You'll know when you see em, they walk to a beat

Gary is run down there is nothing to do

I don't suggest you visit or even pass through

Here is a warning, don't look in their eyes

If you do that is your demise

There is a time when it's beautiful in Gary

That's when the snow covers all and it don't seem so scary

I hate to bash my own home town

Either build it up or tear it down!
