Code of Silence
By Gary
Nickerson
A sudden crackling sound
that interrupts the air
another person dies
another family in despair
Some know who they are
these stalkers of death
yet their voices fall silent
like the victim’s last breath
It’s the code of silence
that’s known in the hood
you dare say a word
cause it’s well understood
Go about your business
watch what you say
cause if you don’t
it could put you to lay
Chorus:
It’s the code of silence
That we all understand
Keep to yourself
And you won’t see the man
It the code of silence
And it’s well understood
Keep to yourself…
Is the message from the hood
