On the Cobblestones of Broadway by Patrick Hopkins

It's a muggy Monday night; a blanket of clouds keeps in the heat,
A few cars drive up and down a time-worn downtown street.
Trees sway gently in the breeze, no gale-force winds to fight;

Hate is on his mind, his heart has much to say,
But his words fall like silent raindrops on the cobblestones of Broadway...
