One of my darker pieces, hope you enjoy.

It is dark all around me,
The air seems to be thickening
Smoke filled remnants of our suicide street future
Scream out past our hopes for a bright tomorrow

The lights flickered a few times,
Then just burned out like someone killed the fuse
Maybe the bill did not get paid, or someone planned this ahead
Taking a bright life, and leaving a sea of lost lives instead

There are no more stars to fill the nighttime sky
There are no lights in the darkened world
We must hope that everyone will be around in the morning
and no one escapes or gets kidnapped like in the past
Please for an answer now, in front of the masses

No one is safe in the world of forests and woods
Too many creatures lurking in the dark shadows
Smoke fills the air on these dead end streets
Screaming out for hope of a bright future

A great descriptive poem. I hope things are not so dark now. Well done.

Dark and descriptive, quite haunting … I hope things are better for you.

a well express analogy of fear for the future. I do like it and I hope is just a bad dream for you.

Just hang on to the hope that your life will not always be dark and gloomy for on the horizon there is the breaking of a brand new dawn. Take care!

A touch of reality’ well expressed poem.

Which one should I focus my concentration on–the bright future at the latter or the suicide future in the begininng–does the confusion serve some purpose? The poem expresses quite well. It is not the best poem you ever did nor is the best one you will ever do–with that said– I do believe your best one is still to come–Good Luck! Cool
