There is so much hate
And so much malevolence
At times I despair;
At the end of an alley
Blades of grass by the garbage.

Quietly sauntering 
through faded lights
 on an alley,

But claims the job has lots of perks

Modern Man

Today's man,
Drinks liquor
as fish water,
Has vile language
enough to peel
wallpapers
off a wall;
And the moral of 
a stray alley cat,
The man adoring 
man.
