Street gangs are struggling to gain control of city neighbourhoods
A war without flags and positions is raging
Violence has claimed as many victims
Fill a vacuum when a government is too weak
When the state's presence
Is non-existent
Striving to make a profit
From "protection money" or drug-trafficking
Talk about "respect"
But did rape or stab for the slightest excuse
Digging "holes of oblivion"
Their deaths as superfluous as their lives had been
Proud to be a rubbish
And not belonging to the world at all
