Brock discusses the tent city that is on the the streets of D.C.

TO: Mayor Muriel Bowser  
FROM:  Pwezzy Village and Citizens of Tent City  
RE:  Us  
DATE:  September 4, 2019

Dear Mayor Bowser:  
Why do I yell from inside my tent?  
Because of bad breathing from sleeping over the vent.  
Comes from lack of housing,  
caused by the government.  
Can’t you tell the neglect?  
Look at the tents; it’s evident.  
How can you sleep when we in the streets?  
If you’d see us once you’d know it’s ridiculous.  
  
So all you gotta do is use that budget, mayor  
And stop acting like our tents ain’t there.  
  
Dedicated to all the fallen soldiers of Tent City.  
Rest in peace, Daddy Mike.
