Lost Souls in the City

Still waiting for the day after tomorrow Need to get all my ducks in a row Thinking about those who demand pity The many lost souls in the city These city streets are empty after dark Cars have gone plenty of places to park In the dark corners away from the ferment Places the lost souls in the city frequent Some still here others from the past They're not the first won't be the last The lost souls in the city do they belong A question asked whether right or wrong So many comments made and said No interest if they're living or dead Just a word salad all tossed together Makes me wonder why you bother The lost souls all across the city plane Spread out like points on a weather vane Do they matter and do we care at all Give them a chance to stand not fall Still waiting for the day after tomorrow Need to get all my ducks in a row Thinking about those who demand pity The many lost souls in the city
