Kasim Ishmael Poet Light Verse

I Am New York

I am New York 

Went for a drive 
Just a regular day
Though I saw love 
Going down a highway

Follow it down 
But it reaches out of state
Now I want to go home
Cause it’s getting late

I am New York 
Its home to me
The empire state building
And the statue of liberty

I am New York
It’s where I belong
Like frank Sinatra says 
In his famous song

So far away 
Ran out of gas
Forget my wallet home
Pull over on the grass

Diner across the street
Wash dishes for a day
Fill my tank up 
And I am on my way

I am New York
From Brooklyn to queens
South beach board walks
And Hagen daz ice cream

I am New York
From Bronx to long island
The Verrazano
Grand central station

Will be home soon
Can’t wait to be there
To stand on the ferry
And feel the wind thru my hair

Through china town
Straight up on Broadway
They block some parts of
Un meetings to day

It’s a different life
In a New York minute
And millions of tourist
Every year comes to visit
I am New York
