Union Street

Let's go down to Union Street
where impoverished people meet
around barrels brimming with green despair.
They'll fidget nervously while we stare,
as each in turn dips a cup,
lifts to quivering lips and drinks it up.

On Union Street the barrels overflow
so we'll see many rounds before we go.
And as they drink themselves blind,
we'll walk through a door they'll never find.

  1. On Union Street I found the exit door
    But I won’t go back down there anymore.
    Just one little sip left a lasting curse
    Like the bleak words in your brilliant verse.

    Brilliant, yes. But the darker side of the winter months, for sure.
    Sobriety and lack of despair, and to all, a good night!
