In My Neighborhood
© 2012, 2016 Charly Humbolt
in my neighborhood they can
change names of our street(s)
in my neighborhood they can
add more cops to the beat(s)
and in my neighborhood they can
cover death with linen sheet(s)
but what they can't change or take away
is the sun rising
each and
every day
each and
every day
in my neighborhood they can
bull doze hills for a traffic light
in my neighborhood they can
stifle the owl's hoot at night
and in my neighborhood they can
push roaming deer out of sight
but what they can't change or take away
are the sweet mysteries unfolding
along
the way
along
the way
along
the way
in my neighborhood they can
turn fields to strip malls
in my neighborhood they can
vanquish the chirping of bird calls
and in my neighborhood they can
dry up churning water falls
but what they can't change or take away
is the sun rising
each and
every day
is the sun rising
each and
every day
