PEOPLE

 

 
Walking, sitting, talking everywhere
People standing, please don’t stare,
Running, jogging around the park
Please, don’t go there after dark.
 
Screaming, yelling, children shout
Mother’s queuing at the check out,
Singing, dancing, laughing, crying
Babies born, people dying.
 
Daylight now is growing dim
Chance of visitor now slim
Settling in the old armchair
I’m sure, I should be elsewhere.
 
Talking on the mobile phone
Sat at home all alone,
Locking up for the night
Waiting, for tomorrows daylight

This reminds me of a song from ages ago called "Words" (by Tomtom Club I think.) I like the way it moves from hustle and bustle to a rather lonely ending, though the conclusion is hopeful. I might put "Chance of a visitor, now slim" as the third from last verse, I think it scans easier. Nice poem :)
