Analysis of DEATH HOTEL
There's a place down in Lonely Street
That is known as the Death Hotel,
Only downtrodden loners go there
Those whose lives are not going well.
It's a place where lovelorn losers dwell
In a suburb, you only move down into,
Nobody on the way up moves there
And no-one ever looks up to you.
A place where people go to die
When there are no more chances left,
Those who now have no true hope
For whom lift is completely bereft.
Those who are fit, healthy, and happy
Would never go there while still alive,
Most of those who end up there
Have little hope they can survive.
Death Hotel is in lonely street
A place where star-crossed losers go,
To see out their final painful years
A place those on top will never know.
Death Hotel is often called the pits
Because it's dirty, dark, and dingy,
A place for those now out of chances
To whom Lady Luck has been stingy.
Death Hotel is for the downtrodden
Those with no reason left to live,
Those whom life has been down
Whom now have nothing left to give.
THE END

About this poem
Intended this to be a supernatural horror poem, but as sometimes happens the poem had its own ideas, and went in a completely different direction. Ended up a sequel to my poem, "Lonely Street".
