A Bitter View

I sit down on my bed to watch some tv/
(machine gun fire) do my ears decieve me/
Nope, thats the fourth time this week/
another fast brother shot dead in the street...

Today, I was enjoying my TiVoed episode of Studio 60 (tight series so far by the way) when I heard 5 loud bangs outside my door. I know it’s a weekday so the kids (who didn’t drop out) were at school. It was then I knew what I heard wasn’t firecrackers. What assured me was a voice yelling “I’m calling a ambulance!” Yeah the dumb ass drop out drug dealers made the block hot again by putting some hot ones in somebody.

The ambulance came within about 10 minutes afterward (I was impressed) and the police shut the whole block down for over 5 hours checking anyone who even put one foot on the corners. Once 5-0 left I headed to work. Once I came back the giant camera/bright lamp post had been added to the block. This initially declares a block they will have their eye on for up to 7 days at the most. The fools will lay low till they remove the post and continue their hustling.

Looks like I got my own personal version of the wire at home. Just another reason I need a job to get up outta here.
