Juice We got enough to go around Killings in Chicago let out a weird sound All we have to do is understand They are fleeing away from this land Over 200,000 since 2005 More who choose to stay might just be choosing to die What is the solution to all this madness When men choose badness instead of gladness Jobs and hope being stripped away Replaced by dope and despair with forgotten people who pray For a better day where this is light Instead of running in fright Listen to what I have to say Kids no longer feel safe to go out and play

About this poem:
This violence is spreading instead of getting better. I know I won't be taking any trips to Chicago any time soon. This is a parody of a song from the movie soundtrack Juice. It is about four friends and one who enjoys having the power of a gun. He is played by the rapper Tupac who was shot dead on September 7, 1996.
