Sidewalk

Footsteps fall in unison

paved concrete covered in fallen leaves

the leaves scatter in the wind

and flee the falling feet.

Ashes fall from cigarettes

and broken bottles litter the edge

of the sidewalk.

The air filled with smog,

glass on buildings reflects the gray clouds.

Everyone went fast,

real fast

and no one ever smiled.

The needy were ignored,

and the bands that played

on the sidewalk

were shunned.

Everyone has somewhere to go,

can't appreciate whats right by them.

They walk the sidewalk,

trying to get where they want to go.

No one ever goes

to where the need to go.
