The Undeclared War Is Spreading Poem by Kevin Fisher

The Undeclared War Is Spreading

Rating: 4.2


Whether it's Long Beach, California or Canton, Ohio this war is tearing me apart
If you walk outside your door you risk getting shot
If your white, black, latino, or asian
They will see your body on the street with a bullet wound in your back
Prostitutes on street corners and homeless people smoking crack
What is happening to this nation
Nothing but gangs and crimes
Pregnant girls flood the schools
People getting raped and murdered daily
I want to get away
Theres no place left thats safe
The fact of the matter is
The Undeclared War Is Spreading

You are bringing up the very important topic which concerns everyone from this argument, that we are people, irrespective of the nation, tongue, disagreements, habits, religion, itp. Problem which you are appointing - is growing! It is just the greatest threat. Apparently, that preventive measures and aren't restrictive sufficient. In the solving such matters not is responsibility of poets. However poets can with to claim action and the reaction a one unanimous voice to claim, the reaction and due action of people, which are supposed to see to it, must be right, for the safety - of every man! It very well, you are writing about it 'embarrassing' by problem. Someone should to be ashamed of, that they allowed such situation, which we have today. It is necessary to talk about it loud and clearly. The man must learn the 'prevention' - to prevent, and not to wait, 'as far as disease will develop'. Very interesting poem. (10v.) Greetings.
