Hollow Street Signs Poem by JOE POEWHIT

Hollow Street Signs

Rating: 5.0


People moving fast.
Can't stop, dead last.
Stores are all empty.
Where is the plenty?

Images crashing all around.
Empty wallets, make no sounds.
Refrigerator stoic, stands empty.
Child cries, from hunger plenty.

Gutter trash, signs of life.
Empty song, from the fife.
Credit card, buying on empty.
80% OFF - SALES ARE PLENTY.

This sounds prophetic, Joe. I hope and pray that we can skip the coming depression. I'm afraid there's not enough common sense out there to slow it down though... Mike
