Not even frustrated

The downbeat town

Otherwise known as Beirut

The cap and gown frowned

Otherwise known as shoot on sight

Noise, a racket or unjust interference


The down of depression is killingly real

Deadbeats, downers, druggies

Half life’s of those even less hopeful

This needs a bigger question

In need of a bigger picture


Way wiser than local government

It is inexplicable

To the ordinary man

Caught here among its midst

I though don’t even feel it


No chance that I can say it

No way for me

To contribute to change

This is not a poem

It’s not even coherent


What or why is all that is left

Undone, hopeless

Nothing

Out of however many

You wish the score to be
