Poem
Let us sit together And let me dwell in your mist And I will tell you a story About city life versus rural life. Now, the city has been known to be a place of lights But many have discovered many fights And a violation of a list of human rights. It is a place where so many people you meet But people barely stand to properly greet And will often look down at your feet. -For this is a place one has to fight very hard to be heard, To be respected and to get ahead. You will further be told about finding so much gold Though one soon learns that they grow old Before you can see it or at least hold. It is also said to be a place of opportunity Where one has to reach the possibility To showcase their innate capability. A place where you can reach for one's dream But have to really always scream To get hold of your cream. Besides the frustration of daily traffic always bustling You will in some ways be introduced to the game of hustling If not being lured into the activity of gambling. -This is because while fighting to be heard and ahead, you have to compromise your sense of morality to get what you want. The city has clusters of buildings so high to tower And various people on the mission of gaining power With the innocent and poor getting driven lower. In the city, it is said that there is a lot of honey Where you can either make lots of money Or end up being called a donkey. Many get attracted to the city's glitz and glamour But then one learns that you have to do a certain favour In order to keep up this fervour. -On the contrary on the streets you see more beggars And hawkers begging for cents. When you are in the city it is vital to stay awake And you will notice that most things are fake And be sure to make no mistake. -In the market you have a choice of buying organic vs non- GMO fruits or vegetables. Whether to buy hundred percent hair products, make-up or household produces. Along the way things remain the same Very important not to forget your name You just need to keep up with the game Of being humble and tame In order to win the fame. -Now, one soon learns that they actually Yearn for the peace and reality Of rural countryside life.
