Three lives stolen, a grim outlook.
Basement walls saw the bloodstained tale,
Bludgeoned and stabbed, their voices pale.

History of violence, far from heaven.
West Verder streets, where the sirens wail,
A community tip cracked the suspect’s veil.

Crime and safety haunt the day.

A city of grit, both beauty and flaw.
So here’s the tale, urban and stark,
A city’s fight to reclaim its spark.

The streets still whisper the secrets they keep.
