Four in the morning on the Memphis concrete,

The flashing amber lights cutting through the street.

Two men under contract, doing what they do,

Hooking up a Lincoln, bringing repo to the view.

They told her she could grab what was left inside,

Before the flatbed took her 4 a.m. pride.

Iyasha stepped back across the threshold frame,

Twenty-six years old, playing a dangerous game.

They kept on securing the chains and the steel,

While she went back inside to change how they feel.

Walking back down with a purse on her arm,

No one on the pavement suspected the harm.

“Let me back inside,” but the answer was no,

The paperwork was signed and the car had to go.

The friction turned to fire, the dialogue went cold,

An ultimatum whispered, a deadly story told.

“I’m going to kill you,” erupted through the dark,

Before the sudden flash left a permanent mark.

A hand inside the purse, a heavy iron sound,

Two flashes in the night as the lead left the round.

The drivers hit the cabin, slammed the heavy gears,

Accelerating fast through the gunfire and the fears.

But the getaway was heavy with a sudden streak of red—

One worker felt the burning where the bullet just fed.

Bleeding in the cab as they raced from the scene,

The cost of repossession hitting way too mean.

Hospital sirens, a non-fatal wound,

While the net around Iyasha was tightly being tuned.

Now the Lincoln’s in the lot, and she’s behind the vault,

Facing down the judge for aggravated assault.

From heartbreaking losses to shocking crimes, these stories paint a sobering picture of the challenges facing our communities. Let’s hope for justice, healing, and a safer tomorrow.
