“NO” Orleans

Looking down the road, nothing but windblown hopes
A little doll on a tree branch
- two bright eyes
- dried tears on a beautiful face
- looking for mom or a pair of hands
- to pull her out of filth
- somewhere near the DOME
- where hope has always stayed alive
- for years before,
- and the years to come
- the DOME with the fancy signs
- with all the black and gold seats
- and all that noise
- with the city as easy as a little doll
with all that jazz,
is so quiet tonight....
