A break no one wanted...

Our city is burning
Thugs and hooligans laid siege to it
Our children are crying
Violence a real boogie man
Destruction a heinous plan
Our city is crumbling
Looted, torched, collapsed
Our parents are sobbing
Their young ones no longer astir
Death a jealous lover
Our city will be reborn
With hope, faith, love
Phoenix amidst landscape forlorn 
Will rise from ashes under
Dreams no long asunder
