The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> -Robert Frost

The vast sky is a brilliant veil of blue,
Everything at ease,
Strong and smooth.
People walk down fractured streets,
So sure tomorrow,
Will show its innocent face.

But just as daylight shows its face,
Yellow people with demeaning actions,
Tear the mighty veil,
And havoc occurs.
Buildings dwindle to the soul-seared ground,
Cinders pollute stagnant air,
But the veil remains unbroken.
