Poem
Many months ago, a man from Middleton moved to, A province of vices and soured delinquencies Where dreams remain dreams And reality seems unnatural Like angels and demons in a guileful romance Few months ago, a young enforcer was stationed At the city of madness where reason has no reason To be a reason, the city stood on a wild-wind bedlam!
