Life's a bitch



Life's a bitch
as the world gets dark
can't walk the street
kids can't play in the park

Shops being robbed
a street fight
drugs galore
the devils delight

No signs of dignity
no self respect anywhere
a broken world
in disrepair

Hurt and hunger
on the side street
tents and rubbish
smelling in the heat

Life has no prejudice
in this cruel game
where is the heart
where lies the blame

About this poem
