William Hughes Poet I do not know?

Great Depression

The sun sets on the dark streets
Tears leave eyes as they begin to grieve
Life is hard for all
But they struggle on, trying not to fall

Food is scarce and people starve
Words of emotion in walls are carved
Houses are taken and the streets become home
Bankruptcy evident from too many loans

Whole families looking towards the sun
Remembering the times when they use to have fun
They pray together hoping for the best
Saying the Great Depression is just God's test
