Listen to poem:
Dead End Street
Written: November 08, 2023, For John Lawless Contest
Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street. Quote by Zig Ziglar
________________________________________
Along an endless route leading to a dead-end
Indigent, desolate, and deep in introspection
Tires burning, cars swerving, and bouncing starkly
Blindly suffering through a path of misery.
Reporters recount recurrent repulsiveness.
of men who murder, manslaughter, and menace
rage, rape, robbery, and racketeering. Ridiculous!
society sweats amid a status quo scandalous strain.
I'm in circles of despair.
Constant murderers must be naked.
as a result of hitting a stalemate in life
cease of sustenance, I'm alone.
Life on a dead-end street was apathetic.
when darkness casts fearful uncertainties
a dead-end roadway with limited promise
names lacking patterns are brought.
If vamoosed on a dead-end street?
All despairing, detachedly deserted
Follow your feelings and fulfill your soul.
Bow gently if you don't realize the gang status.
You stroll the shattered street.
You'll confront failure with bravery.
In the city center, shadows play
No matter what, the damaged street awaits.
Life's fireballs and street flames ignite constantly.
Obedient slaves to maliciousness feed malice.
After the wheel runs, he gets rocks at the corner.
Burning up, soaring, and yearning for the past;
repeated rashness rasped reasons,
perpetually
My era loses. My era is losing track.
The sign for Destruction Avenue is in sight
the route is one I decline to choose.
