Poems
Jun 2018
In the D
Brick-and-mortar stacked
the strength of our past
shape of our future
Beauty in the rubble
city of broken dreams
stands poised
for futures present
Rich history, success
but not for all
some lie broken
strewn about the empty lots
Paint speaks of new times
a new era of life
still fighting strife
on every street corner
every broken block
every burned, boarded Factory
Fear has made its home here
but we must drive it out
we must see it through
those of us that live here still
We want to breed success here
in these beautiful bricks
and boarded-up windows
Want to see life grow
neighborhoods thrive
and children
laughing in the streets
These things speak to us
as we roam about
lost
among the bricks and mortar
The beautiful past
