WishingOnDandelions

I once found myself At the edge of the world All life bound By a chemical swirl Of radioactivity And a loss of health And community, At the edge of the world. I once found myself At the edge of the city Everything tied By something once pretty But now there's nothing But abandoned buildings And birds that no longer sing, At the edge of the city. I once found myself At the corner of my street All once chained To capital greed But now there's poverty Stricken starvation And misery, At the corner of my street. I once found them At the center of my room Everything looped together By the family loom Lies nothing but space And a loss of life
