Never sheltered

Silver mirrors cracked from edge to edge

Dusty windows shattered from rebellious teenagers

Ash filled fireplaces turn into ash filled lungs

Dead gardens wilting flowers turn to dirt

Run away tires make it to an empty field

Never to be found again

Shutters hanging half way off houses

Dark clouds cover the sun for long dark days

Fire truck to pick up the pieces of brokenness

Frozen people walking down gray sidewalks

Unpaid people starving to survive

Starved bodies lying in the streets

Empty houses taken over by disease ridden animals

Broken TV's stuck to the point of stuttering

Rocking chairs rock by themselves

Ceiling fans falling from wired together walls

Papers from blown away places take over the ground

Vintage pictures ripped straight through the middle

Over talked people still talking over the years

Tables flipped over sheltering places from

Clothes ripped to shreds from years of abuse

Feathered animals shedding from stress

Trees burning to the ground brush fire madness

Snapped twigs stepped on by careless kids

We're in this rundown town forever

Always trying to escape

But never actually leaving
