 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan


Once named after a proud Indian Chief
Seattle has a new name and new Mayor
He and his husband have changed the name
Seattle is now called Heroin City
Indian heritage has left us leaving tent cities
Once proud parks and landscape covered in garbage
Cities around the country are getting rid of their unwanted
Giving unwanted a one way bus ticket to Heroin city
The police are not giving tickets for crimes
Murders and crime run unchallenged in drugs
After all the Mayor has made drugs legal
No longer men and women marriage a sham
The excuse it well make purchase cheaper for our kids
The government now the number one seller of marijuana
They are armed with cures for overdosed Heroin addicts
It is too late to save Seattle but they are coming your way
Soon there well not be Men and Women's restrooms but them
That's not rain constantly falling but tears from a proud Indians eyes
Gee did I hurt someone sensitive sides feelings
Sorry but I was brought up in the fifties when you could leave your door open
Kids were playing hide and seek and perverts were criminals in the closet
From cocaine Heroin is now the drug of choice for those not worth saving
