Street Poetry P ag e 14 Untitled S tre e t R o o ts • A u g . 1 7 -2 3 , 2 0 1 8 Four Walls by Char by Tina Drake Some have yet to listen Some have yet to care Do what they want While dragging others down Can they not see See the troubles Troubles they bring Upon themselves And those who choose Choose to listen to the misguided Misguided by friends Misguided by teachers Misguided by preachers Misguided by text Who can you trust What do you know Is it false; fejj Is is fact Time change View change What does your perspective show Does it show you Does it show others Is it good Is it bad How do you know How can you tell But in the end What really matters That my friend is up to you Four walls cracked and fading Silver lining of pain and torment A message simple and cruel Fade into the forsaken where no living tread Memory strong each moment remembered Where once a home was strong Now only shadows remain Forgotten whispers of care and love Forge anew the crumbling walls Strength of pillars and devotion of love. Where once resided pained memory Now flows a home. Last House on the Block by Daniel Cox The bell was replaced by a speaker. Vagrants sleep on the door steps. The inside is beautiful, the outside is ancient. They spare no expense, with all its adornments and gilded objects, but We the poor keep being poor. Need health insurance?
