CHICAGO MAZE
Chi-town fire like it was an desire
O'Leary sweet and deary
DeKoven st. where da fire sweep
As it was place on da cow
where history say it was just chow
for she kick ova a lainter
as the city lit up like a banner
While da greatest of fair
of chicago 1893 wit care
fortysix nations was truely there
marked the 400th anniversary
of great discovery
as it rose from da past fire history
Black belt of none wealth
historical wave people was delt
pushed into a south side spot
bronzeville boy was it hot
where greats like sonny Rollins
reside as the city south died
from poverty / hardship /crime
I cried , I cried !!
Da history of jazz how it last
from the past greats who
made chicago home
sonny, miles and louis Armstrong
help give birth as jazz hit
1917 clash from mississippi
of da new orleans southern crash
12th street station was da birth spankin
two seven south theater of pekin
where jazz was working
down to the J-Town fork music
Chicago became historical
in events known to history
but still da great fire lay a mystery
things unspoken and unheard
these are da tales of this chi-world
all i can do is live to learn
yet i have this feverish yearn
