South Fulton

a darkened street

a strip of cement

the other side of the tracks

over the state line is a whole other way of life

those eyes never cross this way

the nights are all shut down by rot gut whiskey

and cheap beer

the future seems distant to all thoughts

that cross every mind

the offset of a once,prominent town

opera houses cleared over a century ago

survived by pubs and taverns

the youth of this town

find only vandalism, and the altering of their mind-state to be the true ways to pass away

their wasted hours

and this town, my hometown, has forced itself

into my heart

but i hope only for the best for the young

citizens of this town

your boss is leaving south fulton

Author's Notes/Comments: 

South Fulton, is of course the town i grew up in, a brief description of this particular place is that of liquor stores and bars where Victorian houses, hotels, and theaters once stood.
