Scenes From An Unreal City

Metropolis filled with 
many ethnic groups
   Some living peacefully 
with each other 
  Others ready to do battle 
I pick up my pen
   in the hope my words 
can bring 
some 
comfort 
      to the citizens of 
this town 
Life rumbles on - above and 
 below the ground in Gotham
Millions walk the streets 
   and ride subways 
   and buses 
Streetlamps light up the 
         faces of young people
         who rush into 
         each other's arms 
         at night 
Unreal city!
Grant me joy and peace!
Let the words 
dance ahead of us 
  As we move into autumn air 
in this city 
filled with the hopes and dreams 
of so, so many

Yes, Matthew, the way it is today, old cultures being introduced to new ways. You highlight this so well, great poetry...
