Dusty Trails

Dusty trails leading to nowhere Through the annals of a wasted life Bring to mind the cold vacant stare Of poverty, want, and nagging strife.

Thank you, Caren. This came to me, but I think it may be part of a longer poem I wrote some time back.

Thanks, Michael. It was just a short poem that grew out of another poem I wrote some time ago.
