Skyline

The New York City skyline Once had visitors impressed, But now it makes New Yorkers Feel disgusted and depressed. For jutting out obnoxiously, A giant matchstick looms; It’s a residential building Filled with billionaire-type rooms. It is ugly, it is boring And it’s thrust into our faces While destroying what was once The special skyline it replaces. We all know that its existence, Though disastrous indeed, Has been brought about by what The world gets by on – mostly greed!
