DC White

Chilling
Winter months
Walking asphalt
Black as night
Tarry thoughts

Falling from above
White frozen moments
With other times
Other moments
As I walk the concrete world
Of DC
Capitol of run down schools
But colleges of money
And powerful people
But no money for schools

Dreams Frozen dreams
As a dust of white cover
Cover the skin of DC
Du Pont at a Embassy Party

To remember the beauty of the world
Frozen the streets of DC
White as a swan

Touching the ground and turning
Turning black as black as night
As black as a sinner's soul

How I will remember the beauty of the streets
The poetry of souls broken
in the path of other's fortunes

This poem is sarcastically true. Finding beauty "of the world,"in a city such as DC may be a pain seeking struggle. Only Mother Nature has the capability to give purity in a city of such corruption.Transition flow of the last two stanzas seem choppy.
