City Transportation
Hustle hassle traveling back
And forth to work
Car, bus, taxi, walk
Many ride the subway
Fastest travel from
Point to point
Not always the safest
All type of people
Old, young, middle age
Sober, drunk, sick, well
Mentally ill
One mentally unwell passenger
Enter the train
Jordan Neely
Shouting, begging for money
Threatening, frighting passengers
Not the first time
Unfortunately died in a skirmish
With three people holding him down
Trying to subdue him
Jordan relative knew of his
Criminal record and jail time
Did nothing to help him get well
Now want money for his death
Should Daniel Perry pay the price
For helping to contain the situation
Preventing further injury
Should Jordon Needly relatives
Get monetary damages for his death
Or charged with involuntary
Manslaughter
Perhaps the subway passengers
Should sue Jordon Needly’s
Relatives for pain they suffered
Daniel Perry should not be charged
This was not a Black or White issue
Society failed Jordon Needly
May he now be at peace
Artificial City Living
Surrounded by buildings
Fenced in enclosed area
Artificially made containing
Houses, landscaped, enclosures
In a jungle jailed like atmosphere
Placed in the middle of the city
That were trapped, gather,
By bounty hunters
Specimens taken from their environment
No court, judge, no defense
Placed in cages for life
Environment recreated
Maintained, fed, all needs met
Studied, reproduced, put in similar accommodations
Displayed for public exploitation
Passer buyers take pictures, picnic,
Buy at food carts, ice cream stands
Observe the specimens
Open every day for viewing
Pay a fee, buy a ticket
Pass through the gate
Enter the zoo
