The Past : Simile Poem

written by Poet : EC


Past times came by, paid a visit
hollow eyes, haggard face
all telltale signs of what had been
Nothing like a pointed nose
hovering above thin lips
to tell of wants and hardships

So this run down past is
the reality of former generations
face like a map over misery
but somewhere within that gaze
lie smouldering cinders
fire not quite extinguished
only trapped within poverty
hardships and subjection
