Urban Sly
The floral crepe falling like snow
In the still humid heat of Atlanta
Distant chirps of new born flight
Interrupt the cloudless sky
I am surrounded by the slow morn crawl
Uncharted steps of the sleepy eye
A change is creeping on steel framed knees
The new foliage is planned
The human taming of nature
An unkind progress
That cloaks the underclass with appropriation
My root is made brittle
By the channeled flow of finance
What is a future without a past
But just a moment that is designed not to last
With eye to the present
I summon scrutiny to the lamb
Be mindful of the wolf
His promise only serves his hand.
