Dark  City

Faceless shadows roam the streets
looting light as it secretes
starved of love
cold and alone
the distasteful groaning that they drone

Dirty secrets adorn the walls
hollow laughter fills the halls
hope is lost
truth in defeat
kept in line by fear and deceit

Painted people selling souls
desperation and escape maybe their goals
grime and lust
the physical drain
taking the road of knowing no shame

Pinstripe suits playing god
over paid and extremely odd
slick with image
slaves to greed
drunk with power when they succeed

All live in this dark city of the lost
pain and suffering is the cost
afraid to change
married to their sin
all breeds of monster kept within.
