Constance La France Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

City Street Travelers

 
                           I walk along a busy city street,
          watching people leave a loud train
                 and all around flows a musical beat
             and today there is the whisper of autumn rain
                 people are passing- they go and come
       most wear a dark stone carved face
                        but some give smiles, and some
     have  tears that in my heart leave a trace
                      pale youth stroll with hungry eyes
            with ideas far-fetched and wild
             oh, I want to say-  don't listen to lies
       so that in this cruel world you are not reviled
