Metropolis

Fade city fade the surf is in from lost town. It rolls across the sky it roams the streets as a blood-splashing mist, as a whale inside a belly it churns the fear. Fade city fade the gray days are greyer, faces crowd each window, victims await their turn while cinder-blocks burn. Black is the somnambulant fright. Fade city fade, surrender your broken heart. Your parks are camps in the sprawl, the tented roam unhinged. Glock law rules the unarmed. You are too harmed We care, but are not there, and nowhere near is there hope.
