My Reading:
Furious currents tearing stalk from stem, Whispers of a tempting melodic hiss, Languidly descending without acumen, A gentle petal provides fleeting bliss. Dimly lit pathways under murky stars, Wintertide chills invite the next full moon, A crumbling statue displaying old scars, Blades twist and tumble to impending doom. Childlike chuckles have long departed, Replaced with graffiti,rubbish and drugs, A testament to the disregarded, Ruins stand vigil among thieves and thugs. It started with protests calling for hate, Destroying the old established order, Admired heroes to defile and denigrate, Fecklessness is never given quarter. This park stands as a tragic testament, Your cowardly inaction is to blame, Decrepit monument passes judgment, An inscription bears your family name. © Nullus 2020
