Lil Red Riding Through the Hood
My red hair breezed behind me
on my new bicycle I flew
down to grandmother's house I went
To deliver her favorite stew.
My path was not through the wood
but instead through the hood
where the most dangerous creature lived:
a gang called the wolves.
"Lil Red" they yelled and whistled.
"Come hang out" they hollered.
But I knew they werent just Big bad wolves
They were also a bunch of little pigs.
I did not stop, I did not pause
but I suppose ignorance is one of my flaws.
The wolves followed fast
and bullets zoomed past.
I arrived at Grandmother's house
A safe haven if I stayed quiet like a mouse
But they arrived quick
and what happened next made me sick
.
They stormed inside
There was nowhere to hide
Two shots in Grandma
And another for a bystander who saw.
I tried with all my heart to flee
which filled there hearts with glee
And what happened next you see
Is that they murdered me.
