Word on the Street

On a cobblestone way
a drunkard lay
making last call
his only downfall.

In alleyways dark
two lovers park
thier spirits collide
in a deep divide.

A street urchin waits
for his pearly gates
a bottle he snuggles
to smile a struggle.

On a byway of brick
are the homeless and sick
living is so unfair
as into abyss they stare.

Lifes long lonely road
thier destiny is sewed
a sign it is read
the end is dead.
