Block 34

by Dark Angel - Pisces

Around the lamp post she did stray
Her tear stained cheeks to mark the day
Down a block she'd never been before
Her eyes wide open to explore.

Children playing in tattered clothes
A poor neighborhood clearly shows
Starvation everywhere lines the street
Not a soul does she greet.

Her mind strayed from her own strife
Trying to picture herself in this type of life
She wipes away her tears as she departs
Leaving that block with a little more heart.

Life to her now seems a pleasure
Living the way they do she could not measure
Turning the wrong way to Block 34
Opened her eyes and a new door.
