Broken Dreams of the El Camino

There was hope there
I saw it stand, proud and tall
Gleamy, dreamy as only hope can be
Shiny, like a new penny before it sees
How little it can buy
Promises were made, plans
Drawn up and executed, until this thing
Stood before us, morphed and mutated
Realizing suddenly that it had lost
Any semblance of original appeal
Instead of pride, there was horror
What have we done? And hurried brains
Fought to find the real at the base of this
Disaster.
One Billion Dollars Later,
I see the desire that brought it to life
The botox and someone else’s speech and
Should I roll up my sleeves and what do the polls
Suggest.
Everyman is driving the El Camino
And you can’t be all things to all people.

I know not what the El Camino is, but I have an inkling. I thoroughly enjoyed this poem, it contained insight in lines such as;
"Instead of pride, there was horror
What have we done?"
Using botox was a nice touch with inference to inflating something into what it is not, although I was somewhat thrown by the query (rhetorical?) about sleeve rolling and the polls . . .
The title was difficult, for its colloquial - but thats my problem.
Well worth reading.
Keep writing. |

| Odd and intriguing. I may come back to this again. "You can't be all things to all people" is *almost* a cliche, but not quite and it still has valid meaning. Good write! Cheers! |
