hi! something new and sad as always. let me know what you think<3

---------------------------------------

life in the city

Doesn't it just make you cry, the damage of it all?

Sure I'm sad over the famine and war,

But under the skin, there is a far more

Devastating thing present.

The blinking of traffic lights

                    And the

                                    Old man in a

           Wife

                      Beater

                                       Trying to cross the street.

The bright

                          Blue house with all the

                                  Blinds shut,

A solitary

            Robin

                     Picking at a field,

Some teen skateboarding through traffic,

                                           And two

                                                     Ashy, forgotten, stomped-on

                                      Cigarettes.

                        Bullet holes in styrofoam deer and children

                                     Playing detective with their dead grandfather's tool box.

Crumpled

Cardboard

Signs

With

God Bless

                    Written on them.

The world has already ended, we can not be mended again.
