NIGHT FALLS ON THE CITY

Walking along the road pretty sure
it was light
How quickly the sun set bringing on
the night
I must have been in daydream for
the time to go so fast
Yes, I remember now I was thinking
of the past
Yikes! its quite dark and I'm walking
all alone
I'm a little frightened of the creatures
that at night do roam
I wrap my cloak around me gathering
it ever so tight
Praying for God to keep me safe from
evils plight
Taverns are all open drunken brawls
are heard
I take it all in not uttering a single word
Teenagers are gaining entry into clubs
that seem quite dodgy
Alcohol and drugs are on the increase
passed on by everybody
Parading along the sidewalks are ladies
of the night
Sensual desires on display not hidden
from our sight
The girls are young yet trying hard to
look so old
My heart broke for the homeless seeking
refuge from the cold
Safe beside my bed I pray for all that I
have seen
By my side God walked with me going
where I had been
As the sun sets Night Falls On The City
Birthing life to another world that
questions my reality
Weary of the days gripes I had merely
forgotten
The night comes alive, often hiding all
things vile and rotten...
