Only One Rule – FFFC #277

Once these streets were full of life

Long before the pain and strife

The stories that this pavement told

They now lay empty, barren, cold

And now I drive amidst the rust

A monument ensconced in dust

I move along, I must take care

Although unseen, the eyes are there

They lie in wait, prepared to strike

To take whatever they may like

Keep up your guard, don’t act a fool

Survival is the only rule

  5. Nice, Kevin. You know the signs on the road are problematic. Ok, you look right, but what happens when you cross to the other lane where you need to look left? I guess you need to stop in the middle of the road to look left and maybe get hit by a car. It’s hard to survive under these circumstances. πŸ˜ƒ
