    Poem Commentary

    i been there it isn't nice imagine your life turned upside down

    STREET DREAMS

    forget what i write it's not your fight
    i'm the one who has to survive tonight
    in my battlezone i call home
    i beg for a penny you sell me a dream
    life is all that it seems
    we wear similiar faces in many different places
    acting like we're somebody else
    you raise your children not to be like me
    dirty deeds on her knees as she begs and pleads
    no thanks i'd rather not catch a disease
    you go and eat and spend big bucks
    do you know how mant times she has to suck
    her pride she sells short as she cheats herself
    hanging her looser sign on the shelf
    poverty lurks in every home some just hide it well
    the rich get richer the poor get poorer i'm just trying to get some
    hope and life is in her heart resting up aganist her soul
    if this evil continues to grow i don't knowwhere she'll go
    today many are sleeping under a bridge
    we can keep them warm if we learn how to give

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
