A Short Unrevised Poem

Raining today 
   in the big apple 
  Yes, this metropolis is still here 
Despite the 
    fact 
that 
we 
have 
   been attacked 
Yes, the masses of people 
still long to visit 
this "Baghdad on the Hudson"
as O.Henry named it 
It is not Paris, Tel Aviv or London 
But it is the place 
   I call home 
Personally I think this city 
will survive ,flourish and grow
