City of Gulls

Cities churn like a raging sea of gulls Where fear becomes a broken unchained door The mask of hunger covers every skull Fighting for scraps tossed on a dirty floor Buildings stand, some falling where streets collide and garbage decays still in blinded sight Where change is nothing, its where death abides, to disturb hate, born by a cities plight Children play where glass always lay shattered and homeless snore on every darkened street Among the crowd women whose clothes are tattered Find life lifeless when a child's death defeats Far from the rubble and city's broken walls Greedy men of oath sit, toss scraps to gulls 5/1/15
