Move in close, skim the ground
See the conflict firsthand....
A line of tarmac like a river,
Banks lined with concrete slabs.
Houses glare across the grey divide,
Bunkers in a war of false icons.
The combatants pit wage against wage,
An endless escalation - a Street War
Where the fallen are victims of fashion.
"Have or have not" says the rules,
"Keep up or die" is the battlecry.
Futility is the watchword here
Stupidity, vanity, pride....
Step back - it's just a street.
But to the urban warriors who live there,
The War of the Wallets will never end.
