Broken City Silhouette by ~llizArd:iconllizArd:



The Broken City Silhouette;

Neon lights give some colour
to disguise memories of unforgiven streets,
Whilst those who had to walk upon them
find no comfort from procedure appologies.

Discarded newspapers give a voice
to proclaim 'achievement' of military victory,
Whilst obedient citizens forget the time
When the war prisoners were their neighbours.

Empty alleys give some shelter
to hide the faces of forgotten heroes,
Whilst prettier people who take their places
ignore the fact that they'll soon be hated.

Polluted clouds give a warning
to prepare the world for identical ruin,
Whilst I now join the few who've wept
for the broken city silhouette.

I really like this poem, but as you say it is very different from your other work. The only thing i'm not so sure about is the first stanza, but thats probably just me.

I'm not saying anything bad about it because like i said i really like it, i just thought that you got your point across better in the other stanzas and i found them easier to understand.

Buddy. this is awesome.
The images you place in mind are vivid and strong.
This poem appeals to me muchly
I'm not one to know much about structure, i tend to just go with flow from the tongue.
But this works, for me at least.
And i like how you've addressed a few issues all in one poem. nicely done.
you grow well my friend you grow well indeed.
