Of My World

Human body, like a town, can be ravaged by time. ~ by  poet

My streets are weather-beaten and desolate 
my sun often flickers and glows but hazy
lone flashing yellow traffic-light is my moon
the Town Square has fallen ruefully apart,
Tell me, how can I take you on a tour of my town?

I can really feel a deep story behind this. You said a lot with very little words. Very good poem, Abdul.
