The gloom of the dark night <br />Blackens the filth, the squalor, the sleaze <br />Of narrow streets and inner city hives <br />Darkens the pavements, the curbs, the walls <br />The habitation of the wretched, the damned <br />Hides the sins of perverts, killers, pimps <br />Slimy, quivering loathsome lowlife <br /> <br />The gloom of the dark night <br />Covers the city in innocent black <br />All’s well in the world until the first light<br /><br />Eddie Roa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/innocent-black/
