The Poet of Las Vegas Boulevard

The Poet of Las Vegas Boulevard steals emotion from the night Holding a vigil in the darkness waiting for the light The Poet of Las Vegas Boulevard among the screams and homeless cries Making rhyme of what we’ve long abandoned —marking time inside a shadows lie (Las Vegas Boulevard: January 24, 2016)

People often forget how behind the bright lights of Las Vegas, lurk sad faces of the homeless in dark backstreets.

Exactly. The walkover bridge connecting the Flamingo and Caesars has some really shady characters.
