Five
Points
From The Pier of Tears my people came
To Mulberry,
Anthony, Cross, Orange, Little Water
5 ways from Hell to a Heaven re-perspected
(That's
what a Black 47 will do for you)
And from these Points my people came
To the Kitchen, to The Heights,
When I made face in 56'
First to
Mind to Heart
The end of Camelot, the Beat... les,
The Black Out
The
Turn On
And in my fold many did their day, In this town, for this town
Turned Out
In Blue on Blue
Turned Out
In Blue and
Red
Turned out
In Black and White
Every day's a gift,
that's why they call it the present
In this Ci-town-Nee
Everything
to gain and so much to lose
I found in my first Mind and Heart
And
here and to that
I found a grace that I take
everywhere I go

Ward Insensibility
A World of a World
wrapped up in one's neigh-bor-hood
on an island
to a point
in this pursuit
of sharing
. . . caring . . .
To wonder what if
and what could be
should
be
Can Be
Only in New York City!
A
Neighborhood's evolution doesn't have to happen in the fashion of Souless Gentrification!
