People

Walking, sitting, talking everywhere
People standing, please don't stare
Running, Jogging around the park
Please don't go there after dark.

Screaming, yelling, children shout
Mothers queuing at the checkout
Singing, dancing, laughing, crying
Babies born people dying.

Daylight now is growing dim
Chance of  a visitor now slim
Settling in the old armchair
I'm sure I should be  elsewhere.

Talking on the mobile phone
Sat at home all alone
Locking up for the night
Waiting for tomorrows daylight.
