Sunset In New York
The sun is
shining red as it
descends from the heavens
Outside my window I
see its brilliant light
This city is
where the fate of
man is forged
This city is the hope
for humankind
The musical, theatrical, film
and poetic performances
Can leave one breathless
We have the NY Giants and Jets in football
The Mets and Yankees in baseball
The Knicks and Nets in basketball
In this city one
need never be bored
On the dark side
are desperate men
and women lying on the street and
combing the subways for food
We need to open our hearts
And New Yorkers do have hearts
The red sun is beginning
to set beneath the clouds
This magical city
comes alive at night
Its millions of inhabitants
form the backbone
Of this great - greater than ever
metoropolis
