in the alley ways
they ran their course
intelligence is questioned
and social status is beaten into the gutter
with canes and chains they sleep under the trains
masks for clogging the vision of the helpless
or more or less the naive
police stated their claim
and the neighborhoods have united
but they look one way,
they come another
robin hoods, or simply hoods
scally caps and steel toe taps
no flash lights dare shine their way
they make their way across this great plane
heads priced and their actions praised
my hats off to the invisible
singing in the rain, just singing in the rain
what a gloreous feeling.........
hey Tripp, i really like the imagery used in this one, you write incredible poems but i'm sure you already know that!!
