Cities
Title: Cities
Author: John King Ayanfe ©
There is a city; city christened 'Earth'
There is a city beneath the earth
There is a city in the waters of earth
There is a city in the air of the earth
Cities within the walls of a city
Forces, elements and doings beget their kinds
Mysterious in their stance; prolific discharges
Oh, the physical is merely bare before spirituality
Every city suffers chaos, pains and inflation
Earth is calm yet rages with countless troubles
Man is the creator of his own storms
The cities have been portrayed with perpetual worries
Man is borne of flesh and blood
To flesh and blood he lives and dies
Man spends his ephemeral life dining with iniquities
Alas, the body sow for the soul to reap
There are yet cities after 'souls' reaper' comes
One laid with comfort - 'nother carved of furnance
Our cities on earth shall prepare man for either
Thus, the benefits of mortal cities elevates either
