Poetic Poison

A verse covers
light pollution
you miss the stars
forget where they are

A neon nightmare
your mind a strobe
driving city streets forlorn

A verse speaks
noise pollution
cars and traffic jams
lost, the direction of time

We travel in dreams
of yesterdays
when nature calls
in the wilderness of rhyme

Poetic poison
word pollution
stirred up in slang

Poverty stricken
to violence & disease
times unchanged
people rebel & revolutionize

Forgetting we are broken
for just a moment
driving into the night
therein lies madness

A verse speaks
Poetic Poison

this is just dripping with venom. It speaks sternly. I can feel its poison. This is a colder voice for you, Dale, I find it intriguing.

You have a few stanzas in this piece that resonate with my own observations. It's when you can touch the minds and hearts of others with your words that you have a profound piece of work. :)
