Sounds of yelling from a row house blare,
No one hears, does anyone care?
The yelling soon turns into a fight,
But no one hears under darkness of night.
A teenage girl works the street,
Hoping to pay for something to eat,
She knows in her heart it just ain’t right,
But no one notices under darkness of night.
A young man sits on a bench all alone,
His clothes are all he can call his own,
He can’t find work and money is tight,
But no one sees under darkness of night.
So many people, so many fears,
So much sorrow, too many tears,
Happiness long ago gave way to plight,
But no one cares under darkness of night.

Anonymousabout 14 years agoI really like your subject matter but the end rhyme crushes it. Might I suggest rewriting with an internal rhyme or end rhyme that's slant and much more subtle. I think this could be a great. There's lots of good detail.
