Structure
A structure is made with something in mind
Usually a use or two.
Weather the structure is large or small
It has a use to a few.
A structure can house a class of students
learning advanced math.
Or house a small, frail old lady
With around ten cats.
A structure can house an extended family
Uncles and cousins too.
Or it can be a little cabin
With enough room for 2.
A structure can be a storage place
Containing products and materials.
Or it can be a tall skyscraper
A sight so ethereal.
A structure could be anything imaginable
As long as it’s within physics.
But nowadays, more often then not
A structure is empty and lifeless.
No families or friends
No students or workers.
Nothing resides within these structures
Other then dead rats and vultures.
But anyone can take initiative
And restore a structure to glory.
House it with people, things, homes and businesses
Make it the towns memento mori.
So many structures are neglected and abandoned
Why leave them that way?
They can be used for so many more things
Then being left there to decay.
This is one of my first poetry pieces as I used to thoroughly despise poetry. I now see how beautiful, complex, and fun it can be so I'm starting to right some of my own pieces. I hope you enjoy.
