Locomotive
Another night could be the end of time
A drawn conclusion through reason not rhyme
A twisted process and imaginary friends
Serenity in heaven though it's hell in the end
A stained aphrodite in a world of her own
A gutter princess now her life has been thrown
Discarded for Christmas, the death knell of love
And if there's a god he's laughing above
There's disease on the surface and a tonic to swallow
The man at the top is a man oh so hollow
There's more than enough for anyone to live
But inside the circle they selectively give
There's billions for a few and a little for a lot
Something for nothing he likes what he's got
I don't really need the things I don't have
If only he knew those he holds in his hands
There's a train of thought rolling through my head
I know there's a way
I can see it plain as day
We can sort out all the problems of the world just to forget them in the morning

*This is my favorite verse.
Well done, I think you did a good job of painting a picture without getting too literal. To me that is the point of poetry...
