Forebodings

  Looking out of the mind

 Where  shadow lines

 Play hooky to entice

Could it be

That there were no

Messages for the

Unfortunate

The Left out

Drop outs

Who throng the

The turnstiles

Wanting to make it

The Forsaken

Unblessed

Your Unholiness

Its cold out here

But then she came

In from the dark

Her loneliness the

Ruling Goddess of

Ruled

Presiding Diety

At the Sanctum

Sanctorum

Predicting

Cursing

Screaming

Vendetta not

In her mind

Her battered

Book of Chronicles

Of the Unwise

The Illiterate

Whose wisdom

Shines on

The Neon lights not

So bright yet not

Dull

And the Night

Queen circles

Around the

Testimonial Fire

Engulfing the

Miserable

The Lost and Lonely

The Night people

Watching the trucks

Whizz by

The Nations' Bonfire

Beckons

Every miserable citizen

Of the Sidewalks

The Landlords of

Misery wrapped in

The warmth of

Yesterdays

Newspapers

And Cardboard

Heroes

Not so warm and

The Howling Wind

Screams

Penury

Indebtedness

Celebrating

The Festival of

Ill Gotten Wealth

Split

Distributed

Devolved

Uptil the

Under belly

Of Pomp and

Gaiety

Dancers frolic

Sudden sounds

Reverberate

Dire Times

And your billboards

Shouting uncouthly

What is to be

And the Not so

Predictable

Avoidable

Circumstances

That paint tomorrows'

Happenings

And the Wedding

Of Greed and Avarice

Celebrating

Announcing

Dark

Forebodings
