 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

TURF


Six young youths are now dead
Eleven are in hospitals
They call it a turf war
I no longer live in that neighborhood
Born and raised in this city
Children raised by wolves have moved up
They come from Mexico and East Los Angeles
The turf they are fighting over my city
Territory to sell their drugs
Bring our boys home and fight the real war
Send these creature back to where they came from
