AN: Written for an English assignment
where we were supposed to describe what we saw on a bus/car ride.
I suppose this is my ode to Las Vegas.

Slide Show

Shifting past images like a slide show
Watching as the scenery changes and starts to grow
Smoke stacks billowing out their dirt
Glimpses of people and how much they hurt
Children playing and shooting each other
Each covered in the fake blood of a brother
A women painted in purple shadows hiding from the sun
Waiting for the bus because she finally decided to run
Faded pictures stained by time
Just as much theirs as it is mine
People in the street screaming and crying
Inside the twisted black metal a child lay dying
A man, torn and tattered and twitching in pain
Twisting and thrashing and clawing at the hole in his vein
Crying because of what he could have been
I never want to come back here again
