I hope you enjoy the read

Walking down at night
dark ev'ning skies
Is your narrator a helicopter?

Quote:Cold air hits my face
enter its harsh embrace

enter /what's/ hard embrace?  The air?  Hard air seems very unlikely.

Quote:some man shot dead
right in the head
blood dripping down
hits cold hard stone

didn't you just use hard and cold?  

Quote:his hands worn dark
his clothes but trash

what is 'but trash'?

Quote:his face... now full of lead
useless now the old bums stash

why this line written backwards is?

Quote:His Uke laid down
taken right...  from his hand
he lays face down
stopped the song of a peaceful land

some man shot dead
right in the head
blood dripping down
hits cold hard stone

Cries weeping out
a sad song to be heard
a voice sings loud
his son sings slurred

This reads like a series of disconnected images with rather common, perhaps cliche descriptions overly driven by rhyme.  A man got shot.  Now what?  Seems it needs more to be worth reading.  The belligerent abandonment of all syntax isn't helping.
