Fallen Streets Gray skies and sad , lonely trees I look up as I bent down on my knees How did we become so cold to the place that made us The things that we don't appreciate dying slowly Bridges falling everywhere and this I can't believe Chemicals and gases are killing me Roads cracking up in other countries and no one finds time to make it better Colombians kidnapped and they want to be free but the guerrilla say never I look down and grab some old dirt and look around I don't see anybody and I hear no sounds Birds escaped to another world I bet We don't need a nuclear bomb because we are all set Fallen streets What are we doing to our future kids? Fallen streets I wonder how this planet is gonna end and turn out to be This has to be known as I sit here and think We can't let these enemies of ours win Our town slowly fading to dust Yea this is the American dream alright we cant even find time to eat our lunch Working hard day and night to pay those never ending bills So our life is just getting an education to learn better skills Fallen streets I see dead soldiers under those old sheets Fallen streets Wow the American dream is what I need © 2011 Johee Poetry |
