Lost Souls

A short poem.

By Rory DonnellyPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Have you ever thought what could be?without selling rocks on streets, without costs and needs.

Where lost machines lay rusted. Children busted, not unaccustomed to the blind hand of justice, we gave them ‘50 cent’ and a handful of muskets.

And must it? To shine be diamond encrusted? And what if they didn’t see the junkies and needles. A long way from god, yes a long way from steeples. Where evils are grown in the hearts of men.

So why you killing us, why do you care?

Why you kidding us huh? Why you here?

There ain’t no saving us!

We’re the lost souls.

The lost souls.
