friendly , clean and safe
alone , dirty, and without hope 
it is the state of ruins 
that used to be a town 
that finds me disenchanted 
and run down 
the markings on.the walls
that we pass each day
the proof of something that once was
now lying in decay
there must be some reason
or purpose for despair 
and each day as i wake i realize it's right there 
it saddens me to say
that  I remember better days
when the streets ran with promise
and not all our dismays 
so many things have happened to this tiny place
and leaves us all wondering why we endure it's sad disgrace 
the truth is known
and yet seems untold 
this is no longer a land of the young
but of the old 
respectfully I say to all those who have entered here
and remained regardless of change or fear
abandon all hope 
for all is lost
move on or dwell and endure the cost 

Welcome to Johnstown , leave now or forget about peace ...
