The City
by
Laura Beth Leither
The dirty streets fill my view
Crime and poverty are all one hue
The broken roads hold the tone
For barefoot children of broken homes
Trying so hard to cross the way
While lives speed by them everyday
Others stand waiting for unknown hope
Praying that maybe they soon will cope
Lights are flashing as they run by
Searching for someplace that they can hide
Caught in a world where anger's high
But fear is all that's in their eyes
And others will pass them as it grows dark
The strength of the city is it's lark
NEXT? Why don't you look at YPERITE by: Orc from: Vlaanderen, Belgium, Europe
