Do you like my poetry?
What if I told you it’s my will
and Street Sense was the source
to express how I tell
my life story where giving back
is all that matters.
But why do it seem
that politicians and government
workers are getting fatter?
If anything should happen to me
today or tomorrow my friend
let the streets of D.C.
and housing become
equal rights beginning,
But while I’m still living
at least try to help
the Tent City conditions.
Because obviously helping
my tent wasn’t
Mayor Bowser’s intention.
You promised to clean
my D.C. streets;
Oh, save me!
Well why in your first term
did you adopt a baby?
Now you didn’t use that
fiscal budget right
how can you rest fancy
knowing rats bite us at night?
Now you said you’d make
my city pretty
Let’s start
by burying
Tent City.
