Lights In the Metropolis (Revised Version)

Lights in the Metroplois(revised version)

As citizens cross
      wide boulevards
               city lights 
dance on the pavement
Ethereal landscape 
      Created by the 
shining lights
              speaks to us in it's 
 own special language
                    doesn't seem quite right 
                that all those glowing bulbs
are changing peaceful darkness
into a garish illuminated 
landscape
     But after a few years
                   city dweller know the scene
You see - they live here 
in this turbulent metropolis 
where yearning hearts 
                         have come from many lands
to prosper
        If  you don't lose your head here 
You'll find a slice 
        of the urban pie
 is waiting for you 
    in the heart of 
this temple to humnan 
      ingenuity 
    You'll feel much better
    after you partake 
of the gritty flavor 
our city has to offer

First version published in Nomad's Choir
