haves & have nots (?)
Nov 8 · 1 min read

empty minds to fill
thoughts, dreams, scattering and fading
cities sleep – calm and distant
while under the bridge a different place is cascading
made of broken promises, glimpses of hope and tireless wandering
of no expectations,of indifference to optimism
desperation and desire
spreading till the windows of the cars
and the pavements on the streets
trying to reach the window above
only to fall far beneath
voiceless and unheard
seen and dismissed
a vicious cycle with wheels that we run
moves unaware of the bane in its midst
pity
not the ones who struggle to make day and night meet
but the ones
who witness the struggle, lament, hope for the better, but end it all with a good night’s sleep
