Joe Maverick Poet Free verse

Destiny Democracy?

Neon lights shape gargoyle faces
Are the streets (alive) or are they restless?
Unease and motive make their play,
Hidden minds promote!
Outlines are strange, 
While blame is cultured, a virtue less pearl
The espoused truth of a dumbed down world.
A (consumer vision) still splutters to live;
It owes so much from a refusal to give,
So when daylight comes will it see a way
Past losses of freedom – trust – equality?
Or will it be dwarfed with the shadows of doubt,
And dammed in the spotlight with no way out?
