21 Century Detroit I

Celebratory marching to cast out an evil gnome

on the eve of protest marchers protecting Detroit, their home

Separated by realistic and mythical affairs

Longing for unity but unaware on how to get there

Maybe it started years ago with mass suburban flight

Or maybe political corruption has caused the city's plight

but divided we all fall

into the same pit

of us versus them

we all take the hit

Detroiters are black and white 

yellow, red and brown

And until we stand united

we won't turn the city around
