A haze… 
Languorous oft in summer days 
Where sundrops drip 
From melting skies 
Onto city grind

Across back alley lanes 
Trains and trolleys tip toe by 
As a fool in...

the choir chimed in

I light up another cigarette,
its smoke turns into puffs...
then they form small clouds':
a skeleton drawn in the gazette.

It's a disregard for this precious life,
consider myself worthless and grab a knife;
but surviving is the blessing I...

Then, as you rub and scrub,
You might see bits of skin coming off your legs...

At the young and old, whom I come across, I smile gently;
Each, in their world, like flies and bees, and beasts has their own code,
Women, gossip, listening to...

Yet it now seems quite plausible,
To make a case that is indisputable,

And it is all the fault of humans,
With no blame attributed...

Righteous
