Playground
By: Alex Rabin


Kids fray wild among the concrete sidewalk covered with gum.

They encounter money as vicious sharks eager for some chum.

Children gather in midst of the park and converge in a game of Americas pastime

The parks contain a jungle gym that appears miles high that young ones enjoy to climb

Like the barbaric tremendous Godzilla that mounts the Empire State building

While kids dig in the dirt for items seemed topped off with gilding.

Some descend down the spiraled slide like a pinball passing through a shoot.

When others glide down the metal shiny pole like fireman in pursuit

Play and play is what they do constantly during their long days.

Adults contemplate and watch their young while they sit and watch wishing they were still in that phase

Never knowing why they can't enrich the natural beauties of life

This will probably never be known and always an unknown strife.
