Bricks and Mortar
You beautiful buildings
have such ornate windows,
Tall brick exteriors and sad smoking
Stacks on your rooftops.
Though your insides are hollow. Nobody
Sees your potential. They just see an
Old building trying to rise
Above an organized sewage system.
Don't weep tears of mortar.
I know you want life to flow
Inside of you again.
I know.
There's no realtor for this type of
Sell. Nobody to dust you off.
Don't throw bricks at me!
I don't know any more than
You and battle my insides
As well.
You poor buildings.
They went and gutted your insides now.
Someone must love you again to
Clear you down to nothing.
To rebuild you.
Don't be scared.
I know you don't want to depend
On anyone else but just sit back.
Everyone deserves a break
Now and again.
Obviously they know you are
Strong for they are helping to
Repair instead of destroy you.
Soon again you will work
With your beautiful ornate
Outside. Shining. Welcoming people
In with that large grin and glimmering
Eyes. That will be your day
Your day to show how high
You reach.
That will be your day to
Show how much life
You have inside and let
Pigeons rest on your wings.
