Old Town

I walk the streets of my old town, And death was walking all around, The spirits of the dead disowned, The lucky ones that hadn’t drowned, But I still lived amongst them, Grey spectres in my room at night, Whispering voice just out of sight, Angry spirits tortured might, Muttering almost heard, too right, Begone from here amongst them, I walked away unto the night, I walked for miles it felt alright, Better gone than driven mad tonight, No return for me amongst them..

Awesome write Don! I love the spectres, angry spirits that is full of fright, go on and leave in the middle of the night, when they're gone you will be full of delight, keep your eyes in...you need your sight!! Great poem!!
