Lights In the Metropolis
As citizens cross
wide boulevards
city lights
dance on the pavement
Ethereal landscape
created by the
shining lights
speak to us
in their own special language
Doesn't seem quite right
All those glowing bulbs
changing peaceful darkness
inot a garish, illuminated
landscape
But after a few years
city dwellers know the scene
You see - they live here
in this turbulent metropolis
where yearning hearts
have come from many lands
to prosper here
If you don't lose your head here
You'll find a slice of
the urban pie
is waiting for you
on the shores of
this temple to human
ingenuity
You'll feel much better
after you partake
of the gritty flavor
the city has to offer
