Drivin' Down the Avenue

Blue sky fades in the summer sun
Summer sun gives way to fun on the run 
Warm air , dark nights, watchin’ city lights
Drivin’ down the avenue ,takin’ in the sights
Moon comes up over a cozy  ocean blue 
Leaving a path to dream of something new
Upon the sea wishes come true
Drivin’ down the avenue

When life goes bad , the good times gone
Where you gonna go , to sing your song
 Workin’ a part time job,  pullin’ down a part time purse
Should a stayed in the grades, not gone to work 
But at least you got more comin’ out of school
They give adults less, that ain’t cool

What the heck is up with that 
Crazy bastards tryin’to control their peeps 
Ruin your life, while they become the rich elite
Life is easy feedin’ on the bourgeoisie

Life is easy reflectin’ on things that should a been
Feel the breeze, watch the city lights , take in the sights
The sun still shines , so take your fun on the run
On moonlit paths , over the oceans wrath
But leave a path for dreamin’ something new
Sometimes wishes come true , drivin’ down the avenue

This is an interesting poem. Yes, wishes do come true; but you must work at it.
