It starts up again, the sound and the smell.

Smoke flows and pours out like gray snakes and eels.

Roaring a screeching symphony from hell.

Life scatters away from the eeking wheels.

Unnoticed or ignored are the outcomes. 

Big months loom and give another excuse

Poison spews into the veins and becomes

the essence of life with grim and dull hues. 

Mess and animosity plague the path.

A life wrecked and ruined by useless rage.

Stolen frivolity replaced with wrath.

A fledgling story torn straight from the page.

Automobiles run the world dim and bare

Follows their wake is only death and prayer.
