Streets of tomorrow

 I woke on the ground disoriented
God abandon me that you not get infected
mother abandon me
Father cut and run

On the front lawn of some empty middle class home
Laggards and stray people camp about me
Do they know of my intention
My secret grasp

The grass collected dew but did not freeze before the break of day
Father I'm a monster but I want the best for this world
I woke on the ground aroused loudly, proud early
The pale blue sky surrendering to my eyes

I dreamed of the streets of tomorrow mother
They were adorned with so many precious hopes
I got to my feet and felt the cool morning on my bare shoulders
I'm a monster to this world

hunger and yearning
torpedos my mind into frenzy
My appetite excited hindering my motor skills
God abandon me here look at my corruption

I dreamed of the streets of tomorrow waking to the coolness
God's breath
still here tending the landscape
What am I but a naked nomad

dreaming of the streets of tomorrow
Not  tending the city of today
