Deep and dark skies 

drift over divided spaces 

The kids in school 

wait for a friend 

that never stays till the end 

Parents patiently wait to 

pay the price from a slow day of pay

Even hogs and hares fight like ice

The preachers squealing like mice 

The rich prowl and pounce 

praying on the poor 

The eviction man pounds on the door 

The child slips and falls on the floor 

but no one seems to care anymore 

Dark, depressing days 

definitely consume our ways 

The light is lowly lit 

and shows no shimmer in dark clouds 

One day darkend clouds will disappear and daily sunlight will shine through.
