June 2002 [bodytext] => Traveling down the alley Alone in my thought In a low valley Where the wars are fought The Veteran sleeping alone on his bench Fearless and brave this country he served Now his clothes carry street stench More than this, his life deserved When did life get this way His battle now fought on the streets of today The child hungry and cold Seeking food from your trash It’ll do just pick off the mold His mother died in a car crash When did life get this way His battle fought on the streets of today The bag lady pushing her cart Picking up what we leave behind Depression hides her beautiful heart Most people don’t bother to be kind When did life get this way Her battle fought on the streets of today The prostitute on the corner, receiving many a glare Dreams of college brought her life here Now for her child she must care Tuition not getting paid is just one fear When did life get this way Her battle now fought on the streets of today This battle is fought everywhere By people of every age Finding a true survivor is rare Held hostage in poverty’s cage When did life get this way The battles fought on the streets of today [comments] => 1 [counter] => 177 [topic] => 21 [informant] => LJ [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
