Urban Ode
Urban nightfall and dreams grow in the city
This town has proven to show little pity
To live here you need a very hard shell
At times the place resembles a portion of hell
Yet there are dreamers here who deserve much better
So get down to it, and write a letter
"To whomever is listening" no matter how far
City dwellers seek love in many a bar
Drink loosens the tongue and makes us brave
So before you begin to become a slave
to passion or gin better make your decision
This poem I present to you with little revision
