CLOUDED DREAMS

GREY  CLOUDED RAINBOW   AVENUES
BACK  STREET   MEWS
EMPTY  RETARDED   STREETS
TALL  DERELICT   HOUSES FOR  RENT

BROKEN  WINDOWS
  DAMAGED  DOORS
LEAKING  ROOFS  
UNFINISHED  FLOORS

PEELING   PAINT  
CRUMBLING   WALLS
DUST  SHEET CORRIDORS
DAMPNESS  IN  THE  BRICK

BLANKETS   OF  CARDBOARD  BOXES
URINE  INFESTED   BEDS
HALF FILLED   BOTTLES  OF  TEQUILA
COLOURED  PILLS  TO  KILL  YOU  ALL

UNREAD  NEWSPAPERS
FRAGMENTS  OF   HALF  EATED  PIZZA
SPILT  BOURBON  AND   ALCOHOL

USED   NEEDLES
COUNTLESS  SYRINGES
AN  DISCONECTED   FRIDGE

DIMMED  CANDLELIGHT

EACH  ROOM  IS   HOME TO  THE  LOST  AND   THE  UNCLEAN

NO  CURTAINS  HANG TO  HIDE   WHATS  INSIDE
NEGLECTED   LIVES TRYING  THEIR  BEST  TO   SURVIVE

THE     GARDEN  IS   OVERGROWN
PILES  OF  DISCARDED RUBBISH
THE  STALE  BREATH  OF   DEATH

DARK  GREEN   ALGAE   ACOSS  THE   FORGOTTEN   POND
AN  FALLEN  OAK  FULL  OF  DISEASE

AN   NEW  RESIDENT    ARRIVES
HIS    FEATURES   ARE   FROM   OVERSEAS
HOLLOW  EYES   VOID  OF   HOPE

HE  RESTS  HIS  HEAD  BENEATH   A  SATURATED   MATTRESS
MORE  DISTRESSED   THAN   HE
TOMORROW   HIS   FAMILY  WILL  FOLLOW

THEIR  LIVES  WILL  BE  BETTER
AS  DREAMS  ARE  DISMANTLED
ALL   IS  NOT   AS  IT   SEAMS

HIS  DAUGHTER  IS   AT   AN  AGE   YOUNG   PRETTY
RIPE TO  BE   ENGAGED
