        Dirty streets and powder treats
Dark and dreary dealers meet

Little girls and bouncy curls
Lazy, lusting lovers twirl

Jazzy tunes and sour prunes
Just and jelled jurassics swoon

Beauty toes and thorny rose
Blonde and bouncing beauty blows

Darkened souls, they've lost their way
So few folded hands to pray...


Better days are on the way, my friend, just a ways on down the line.
I believe that just around the bend, everythings gonna be fine...

hmmm...very nice...well...not nice in the litteral meaning of course, nothing this dark could be considered nice...but I liked it...I can't find the word that I'm looking for to describe it...I hate it when that happens....

But whatever the word is (and it's a good one) that's what this poem is...

This is well written, but pharon does bring up a point: "that doesn't mean we should stop trying".  Anyway, I like this poem.

  I think that's the reason I wrote this, cuz people seem to stop trying...anyways I didn't even think about the title much. Thanks for your replies, they are greatly appreciated!!

I loved this poem. I thought the wording of the poem was amazing.......
- jelled jurassics swoon
- bouncing beauty blows

I love those two phrases. I try to write some poems that are FULL of those. I love those kind of things. In the 6th Round you'll see what i'm talking about. I thought the poem was amazing. A great poem cutie pie!



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

this was a good poem! personally i don't think that the world actually has gone wrong in any way but that we have just evolved into different people. in some ways the world isn't as good of a place as it used to be, surely it isn't as safe, but i think that the world is better in ways such as rights and restrictions especially toward women. keep up the good poetry

This is a really good poem with a really good meaning to it.  I'm glad that someone feels this way too.  Thanks for sharing this poem
