The road appeared different today Perhaps it was the grey dank sky That bled desolation That made it look As if misery had overtaken it
Scattered boxes, riotous revelry mementos Lay discarded, abandoned by humanity (Or some may say inhumanity) And brightly coloured lids, when asked Mostly replied, “Ham Cheese and Pineapple”
Fresh holes, those pock marked decaying scars Seeming devoid of any compassion What scurrying animals had left In a flurry of desperation, but unknown to them Would never let them escape their misery
And the trees, as if with wanton need Had shed their belongings Retreating, seeking another guise As if desperation, always looked better When barren and naked
The road looked different today As if misery had strolled on by And left that odour of hopelessness Maybe I should not have walked that way But it was my only path
