Cover Up

Towers of light
Stand stark against
The midnight sky

The dark falls
Like a blanket
Over the depravity below

It hides the whores, pimps,
Drug addicts and dealers
Under its smothering weight

The creatures of the towers
Completely self absorbed
Depraved as those below

The darkness is the
Prefect cover up
For those who cannot care

    Your poem ‘Cover Up’ is powerful and very descriptive…it sets a scene of stark reality in how the darkness of night hides the true ugliness of the city from “those who cannot care”…the falling darkness as described in your poem is also within “the creatures of the towers” who are no different than those they do not wish to see…this writing is very strong.
