Poem by: ChristopherErick
Welcome to nowhere and
the lies of Emerald City
those for sale signs
and sparkling lights
none the disguised so pretty .
Termite houses of encircled golden fences
uplifted hope by scenic waste
as deputies and directors take the census.
A crater of abuse and theft
at the top of the listed rules
the early resided have never left
the town of two hundred fools.
This is home, a paradise to another
contemplation of a new horizon
is a horse of a different color .
To work they go
traveling a hundred miles and over
to escape the revenue service
and the chance of a foreclosure .
Another building
In the midst of larson,
burnt down again
by amphetamine arson .
The faithful sailors
on the river of invisible shores
work with the worries of other men
to come knocking on their doors.
Who is true ?
Who has slept with who?
She is growing up too fast
the apple has fallen way off the tree
so, who's child is that?
Welcome to nowhere and
the lies of Emerald City,
those for sale signs
and sparkling lights
none the disguised so pretty..
