"Empty Mind, Empty Street"
(23/03/03)
© 2003 Brian Eggertsen, All Rights Reserved

a breath with no air
no meaning nor sense
an eye that just stare
no seeing nor excistens
a closed door, a small window
a life dragged into court
Empty mind, empty street....

a hand reaching out
no contact nor feel
a mouth screaming loud
no impact nor voice of steel
a cramped floor, a darken room
a life voting for appeal
Empty mind, Empty Street....

so sad, so cold,
Is it just me or is it injustis?
alone, empty,
say why do we keep going on like this
A human being
no more nor less
Empty mind, Empty Street...

I like this piece very much. I had to read it twice to get the full meaning, either I'm tired or, or you did a good job on making the subject unobvious. I like the general yet personal theme, theres, no I's no...thats a nice change, I know its hard for me to do, get awy from the "woe is me" type poems.."a breath with no air," love that line and all the lines like it, "a hand reaching out, no contact nor feel" nor? doesn't really sem to flow there though,..I don't know migght think of changing that to or?.. I loved this piece, as I've loved verything I've read from you so far, kep posting, I'll keep readin'.
