As I Walk

The black sea of faces
I meet in the street,
With hunched backs 
from a menacing gory despair,
Sweeping across the land 
like a flood of monsters,
And dry lips a stamp left by 
the  ravages of hunger, 
With gloomy eyes poppin 
sluggishly at me,
As if I am an exotic piece of cheese 
from Honolulu,
Making me feel like a fresh sandwich 
inbetween molded bread,
Wishing I could Snape back to where I was,
And forget the nightmares people trudge 
in daylight,
For the nightmares drain all the flikers of hope left in me,
Hope of a better future 
that I have always dreamt.
