I hope you enjoy the read
Walking down at night
dark ev'ning skies
Quote:Cold air hits my face
enter its harsh embrace
enter /what's/ hard embrace? The air? Hard air seems very unlikely.
Quote:some man shot dead
right in the head
blood dripping down
hits cold hard stone
didn't you just use hard and cold?
Quote:his hands worn dark
his clothes but trash
what is 'but trash'?
Quote:his face... now full of lead
useless now the old bums stash
why this line written backwards is?
Quote:His Uke laid down
taken right... from his hand
he lays face down
stopped the song of a peaceful land
some man shot dead
right in the head
blood dripping down
hits cold hard stone
Cries weeping out
a sad song to be heard
a voice sings loud
his son sings slurred
This reads like a series of disconnected images with rather common, perhaps cliche descriptions overly driven by rhyme. A man got shot. Now what? Seems it needs more to be worth reading. The belligerent abandonment of all syntax isn't helping.
