streets paved with sweat . . .

Poem Artwork

 

 		  
  The destitute/NY arrival their ruin
Without subsistence/No resurrection
Deprived of/Elementary emotions
Abandoned hope/Tormented souls
Dark shadows/Lightless alleys
Utterly lacking/No brethren
Statuere form/Thoughtless spectators
Thematic vowels/No 'u' in anything
Great expectations/More prayer
Huddled masses/Drop the ball on the one yard line
A resignation/Turned faces to a wailing wall
Vanquished dreams/Go back from whence you came.

'2008' RLS

Lance,

This was very touching as my relatives from Hungary went through this. "Streets paved with gold", not quite, they ended up being poor farmers. You captured this all too clearly.
