Magpie Tales presents a wonderful visual writing challenge each week called The Mag. No requirements except keeping it clean and try to visit your fellow participants. Enjoy.
Wind of History by Jacek Yerka
Broken marble concrete crumbles
People invade repeatedly
One light shows one car goes
As so many before
Who meets them what greets them
Will be a great surprise
It could have been different
If only people had come
When the occupants were living
They would welcome every one
Now the people visit
Who would never have before
The welcome is not so open
The smiles are not so kind
No refreshments offered
No conversation to pass the time
If only they had come
When the occupants were alive...
