This Sweet Street Poem by Rebecca Pepper

Walking down a street
Happy people I meet
Oh see the colours and smiles
See the sun shining for miles

The houses are small but neat
On this content street
I see the families so close
‘Look at our street’ the people boast

So look and you will see
Even if you are blind to life like me
For I shall tell you what I saw
In that perfect streets outer core

I saw the money passed underhand
I saw people owning stolen land
I saw the children chased off this street
Into the wild just to keep this street petite

I saw the brother’s unclean kill
Just for the money in their cousins will
I saw the father have a secret affair
And the mother, well there is a perfect pair

So see with your own eyes
Don’t always believe possible lies
Don’t be led around blind
Or this world will stab you from behind
