Changing Chicago


Changing Chicago

For Months……

For Days………

For Hours……..

Every minute of time

I have always thought about

how the number one city in the nation

with the highest crime rate and possibly poverty rate

could be changed

With thoughts and ideas….

Something can be done…...

Politicians need to give a third of their paycheck

to the city

And stop being so greedy

Sheriffs of every town need

to assign four policeman to every corner

that should create some order

The Mayor and Governor

need to meet with the Director of each Community

Center

to revise programs for youth

so that the behavior can get better

The Governor and Congress needs to put aside

money for some American factories

That will solve all the dissatifactories

And should increase the number of jobs

Therefore no one will ever robbed
