Ghosts of Society
In a cloud barren sky
The concrete
abomination rises
Dominating,
isolating,
It shadows the land
Lonely souls live
their lives
Day to day
No one notices
There are no kind
words
Youths gather in dark
alleys
Shouting, laughing,
in a menacing furore
They linger to
intimidate the passer by
Tenants scurry like
frightened rats
Hoping they won’t be
seen
Invisible victims of
society
They remember another
time, another place
A world bestowed by
friendly faces
