City Scapes

City scapes Street lamps awake slowly to its rhythm’s Silver neon’s reflecting electric cold heat Phosphorescent shadows echo from The still night off the black streets of tomorrow Blighted tenements amidst the Bleak gardens of despair Naked piles of broken lives left wayside Remains of our deadened pasts Between the worlds of life and death Extinguished invocations of here and now Amidst the ashes of hope and doubt Life persists in life itself Ceaseless humming of the buzzing drone Trapped within its trappings Pedestrian dwellers callused in their sleeping wake Attracted flies move toward Mechanical waste of dying dreams Alienated silences self destruct open itself amidst the banished slums imploding disorder within the vortex of empty thoughts left to their own devises crystallized memories come alive again
