Poem: "If you lived here..." (non-SF)

If you lived here, you’d throw rocks,

Trash and bottles, too.

Strangers think you’re having fun,

But you don’t think it’s cool.

Your survival is their buzz,

Your death, a 5 minute story,

Sensation holds attention,

When the news cycle is spinning.

But if you lived here,

You would cry,

Every time a neighbor dies,

You’d see yourself,

Your kids, in them,

And never wonder why again.
