Dereliction

"Dereliction of an expired life
Disenchanted fairytales of strife
Fractured bones of skeletal closets
Writing on the wall of graffiti artists
Distinction of classes made
Like Berlin no more a blockade
Cap in hand head lost in clouds
Hoping hard times reveal no shroud
Weight off shoulders Atlas no more
Stepping stones from shore to shore
Corrugated iron palace of street kings
Empty cardboard box lives so fleeting
Back street boys & bag ladies woven
Wall Street crashes finance broken
Briefcase mules carrying emptiness
Spendthrift cougars hunting wealthiness
Chalk outlining premature departure
Gunfire providing unwanted apertures
Sirens warning crimes committed
Safety in numbers never permitted
Alleyway games no ball or pins
Trash can orchestras cats searching within
Gang related arias of life's soap opera"
Acting out becomes a devils pleasure"
