The city of great people laughing everyday

My city a place of freedom

Walking through parks hearing the churro guy

L.A. were it might not be safe as well

The city where there are school lock downs

Where students say they don’t care

I want L.A to be safer where you could go anywhere and not worried something bad to happen
