The Public Library

Someone behind me is making noise His laughter has me very annoyed This is where security should be deployed This type of behavior we try to avoid Sometimes it’s the smell we capture Our noses send the message That’s somethings the matter Drugs and homelessness Are the main factors And the public just suffers The plague of bad actors What a terrible way to invade our space Eyes, ears and noses suffering disgrace The snitch is so loud my tongue can taste The smell of stinking feet This odor has replaced

This odor lingers, heavy in the air, A scent of despair, can we find some care? Can’t we find solace, a little sweet grace? Instead of this madness invading our space?

A very eye opening and well expressed piece, John ... Among the public, there seems to be a lack of respect for those around you these days ... That's when I try to find my own private sanctuary to reside in :)
