Everybody wants to be

Free, wanting to feel

Clean air, smell nature

And scent of food, coming


From only a few blocks away,

There's dirt, noise and crime

In this, almost cozy area, a

Family's spread and loving the


Closeness, but once death fills

The streets and blood flows in the

Neighbourhood, young hands begging

For money, ripped rags hugging a slim


Body, out in the cold, shivering and

Getting sick, that's what life is like

In our Harlem.
