Empty ShellsA Poem by George David Hope
EMPTY SHELLS
Wrecking ball waiting outside Door removed like mouth so wide Broken windows reveal it's fears Like hollow eyes filled with tears Curtains flapping in the breeze Like white flags begging "Help me please" Memories only now remain Who says houses feel no pain Kitchens ripped out beyond repair It's like the world just doesn't care Owners gone now all alone It's like they have a heart of stone Now silence echo's down the halls No more children's or mothers calls All the carpets now filled with dust Metal fixings all turned to rust Roof tiles gone so long ago Wallpaper now where mushrooms grow Mould the only thing to roam In this house once called a home
