Streets Of Salvation Poem by Dave Alan Walker

Streets Of Salvation

Rating: 4.8


I'm falling
I'm falling
through
The streets of damnation
everybody watching
nobody catching

Just leaving me
to the rats
and infection

No breakfast
no tea
just heroin and me

I lie down to die
with my last high
then I see
my long past mother
in my minds eye

Son what you doing to me
don't destroy my memory
where's the fight
where's the pride
this ain't dignified
come back and rise

I'm rising
I'm rising
through the streets
of salvation
