Chiraq
Chiraq
by Orain Prelow
Chiraq is my community
It’s a bull that doesn’t get tricked
Better not get picked
It’s a raging bull,
But he is not a tool
It’s the windy city
Blows like a chopper
But when it hits night,
The bulls come out to fight
But when I look at the moon,
It winks at me and says,
“Everything’s alright.”
