When these four teens were trying to come up with something to perform in Louder Than a Bomb, a youth poetry festival that reaches teens through after-school programs, they took their task seriously.
Through their spoken-word performance of “Hide Your Schools, Hide Your Homes, Hide Your Children, Cause He’s Wrecking it All,” they unabashedly slammed Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel with a passion you can both see and hear. …

Is there a transcript somewhere?
So I can understand it?
They could just as likely be singing about Obama.
The best part is the last five seconds, when you hear the audience explode in applause.
powerful... good for them...
I’ll have to try listening again.
Let Rahm try to run for higher office.
He is one toastie little ballerina.
No sympathy. Their parents are the kinds of bums who inflicted Rahm on Chicago and Obama on America. You reap what you sow.

Hide Your Schools, Hide Your Homes, Hide Your Children, Cause He’s Wrecking it All
Hammer in one hand paint brush in the other
Rahm Emanuel is single handedly destroying our city
Mr. wreck it Rahm
look what Chicago is becoming
bending the rules to fit in the lie of building a new chicago
building new streets
when his own plan got some pot holes
Tearing down our dreams
its getting really windy in these streets
Red X’s mark the spots where his wrecking balls are next to drop
We are not included in the Blue Print of the New Chicago: we’re being pushed out
our buildings transformed into condos - and we know those AINT FOR US
Thermal shock is setting in from the whipping wind of the heartless sins
of the mayor
Norfolk Railroads is pushing us southern folk out
Homes replaced with tracks
that will be laid
where our heads used to
If dry wall could talk
it would speak many prayers to keep our homes
now vacant lots that hold lots of remnants
of 60 years of backyard barbeques
baby showers
and when electric sliding was the super power of the summer
55th and Normal
we are losing all of this
Torturing, tormenting us as we choke on the ashes of our memories
*Cough Cough*
Let’s hope we don’t get sick
Because he’s closing all our clinics
He needs to get treated
And then maybe we can sew back on the other half of the middle finger
that he has been giving us
Its almost as if he’s E Manuel of E-Limination
Exportation!
Extermination!
Eradication!
Step one: Take away our schools
Step Two: Put them out their home
Lastly: Destroy it all and
Deny Deny Deny
But remember, to always keep a straight face when you lie!
Try to pour the cheap paint over our eyes while stealing dollars from under our mattresses
There’s not enough? Close their schools
But he’s building a new DePaul stadium
Using our TIF funds to Transform the South Loop into the Promised Land of redevelopment
and some river walk
of course downtown
The paint is starting to streak.
Building a new Chicago or extending a new lie!
How can a city so in debt blueprint something so expensive?
Banneker Elementary - Closed
Woods Elementary - Closed
Yale Elementary - Closed
The paint is cracking:
From every west side basketball brotherhood
To south side sisterhood bonds through pom-poms
And every poetry team that had dreamed of being on this very stage
has been ripped apart,
Goodbye
Bad foundation for our future generations
struggling with 40 students in one class
so they learn from the streets
There’s not money for our schools, but, there’s enough to build a New Chicago
But that New Chicago is NOT for us.
The paint is wearing thin and so was our patience
Irreparable damage has already been done
Time to stop the destruction of OUR city
Prevent the further corruption of our already twisted politics of Chicago
25% of Chicago school children won’t amount to anything
25
50
75
100% sure that we will be something
See Rahm we are mathematicians
your lies are adding up
and this new Chicago is just another one of them
Thank you.
It’s good for kids that age... more at the link

Yeah, they're all just a bunch of "effin retards".
Sorry to say it was lost a long time ago. I lived in that area when I was a small child in the sixties, we moved out in 1965. The area has not been a functioning neighborhood since the late sixties. They say the railroad is pushing them out. There were lowrise projects there at 57th and 58th and Normal. Right next to railroad tracks. The residents of these projects used to burglarize the boxcars every day. The projects were demolished with the railroad buying property. I worked there in the 90's, one of the highest crime rates in the city and maybe the country. They haven't lost much.
I bet this was written by the teacher’s union.
That is amazing! They see with the clear eyes of youth.
Yes. Seems like to me Rahm was just following the blueprint from past politicians it was already wrecked years ago.
my thoughts exactly.
