Day

I told you about the "People of The Night" Now let's look at the day Believe me when I tell you They to are on display You've got panhandlers in front of stores Asking for change or more There's so much traffic speeding by They pass you in the blink of an eye The addicts are all coming down Some of them sprawled on the ground Some have needles at their sides Things the daylight can't hide A couple of hookers heading home Today they'll sleep, tonight again they roam UPS, Fed Ex and the Postal Service In some neighborhoods they're nervous To get all packages and letters in the mail To all recipients without fail Garbage trucks block city streets Just try to keep the whole town neat Police cars pass with lights and sirens on Will the suspects get caught or be gone? Stores open for business everywhere People move about without care Armed security guards at the bank Are his bullets real or are they blanks? For his sake I hope it's a quiet day So nothing harmful flies his way The homeless in the park and drinking Lower and lower life has them sinking The city lives in the day Soon the night will have it's say A different cast will soon descend As daylight comes to its end 11-7-18/RjH
