City Insightful

In the city of concrete
Morbid soul and brazen mind
Silence is kind loud
Voice seem stifle

In the city of glass
Heart is shatter
Love so brittle
Lust all that matter

In the city of great men’s statue
Triumph insanity and fails pity
Chase of void hope
Vain pride to cope

In the city of high education
Pupil prides in knowledge
Success is the notion
Humility barely mention

In the city close to skies
For youth to conquer
Alas! Smoking they flatter
Bargain life with mind clutter

In the city of bright night
Amid dark misery and plight
In quest of limelight
People lost life insight

In the city of democracy
Those provoke liberty
Subtle unwind equality
Minority decry atrocity

Always there grows a city
With false etiquette
Claim same old story
To establish peace and morality
