Cityscape
Hustle and bustle
Of downtown
Menacing skyscrapers
And their shadows
Sensing the gravity
Picking up the pace
Rushing from point A
To elusive point B
Traffic signs and lights
Pressure building
The simmering stress
The outsider rushing
Through the haze
Glaring through fog
Reminiscing the days
The rush the panic
Surreal and frigid
Illusory haste
Made up and fake
Fraudulently grandiose
