Life On Hell Hill : Adult Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

 

There's a drug dealer across the road and we live here on hell hill .

Her children are crying out for help and next door they're fighting still.

I could hear them screaming again last night ,

something has to be said ,

What if it was your Mother that was being slapped around the head ,

I heard the voice of her children cry ,

"When's Daddy coming home?"

Their daddies in jail and Mother has needs she can't give up alone .

Every morning the drunks leave her house and hurl abuse as they leave .

There are more noises that I hear next door that also make me grieve  .

I heard piggy bank's and children getting smashed up against the wall .

No one has the right to do that so I gave the police a call .

The police are helpless to make an arrest without any proof .

With brothels and ghetto abuse it's hard to uncover the truth .

It's wild on the street and too many people have nothing to loose

Living on hell hill is a nightmare .

 Its time now for us to move .
