Beats of Despair

 Graffiti  walls and trash strewn streets
 Hope withers before it can grow
 Despair plays in steady beats
 With somber scenes to show
 Dreams dry up before they flow

Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 5/20/2024 6:07:00 PM a nicely written poem...reminds me of some of the streets in near downtown Dallas where the homeless encampments are...when I walk by I can feel the despair you describe...where dreams dry up before they flow. Outstanding. Enjoy your evening, Sara
