Turned Down Eyes

Concrete faces drench themselves with tears,
They are so stained from the saddening years.
That unthinking mind beneath the earth
Has felt no love since it's quiet birth.
Poor lonely soul locked in a lowly tower
Kept sane from counting dying hours.
In the west a secret was whispered again
Of the hope that has been held within.
Prickling ears lean close to overhear
Things concrete has watched over the years.
You can see the tales in it's eyes
Of when drivers beleive alcohol's lies.
And it's pupils follow rain filled tracks off the road
That lead to freshly planted flowers just a day old.
Old and young create forever rain
Filling thier funeral cups with sadness again.
The drunkard lives to drink away despair in tomorrow,
While the remaining family drinks in their own sorrow.
Three white crosses recount the same old tale
Of how unheeded precuations will always fail.

now im alone, but not lonely like before

hmmmm...
we just had an assembly the other day about drinking and driving...
so this is all fresh in my mind.
The imagery in this was great.
