Days and Nights
Time passes slowly as I wander the streets
Gas and food prices soaring high
Cars towed into the middle of the night
Foreclosures stealing neighborhoods ,
Soup kitchens provide free food
Jobs are scarce, illegal immigrants are not
Overcrowded tenement buildings with attitude
Drug lords , gangs and pimps, decaying city ruins
Gun shots heard everywhere, bodies litter the streets at high noon
Nature pounding on the doors of civilization
The line between man and beast grows thinner
Storms rage thru the night , the end in sight
Time passes slowly as I wander the streets
