Urban Tale

This metropolis feeds us And it torments us I have always lived in an urban environment I know well the joys and sorrows of this city A fall day I try to make the best of it by heading to a park with a friend This park has some acrobats and a sand painter who is illustrating the transitory nature of life Autumn in New York, despite the difficulties one experiences here is still something worthy of a song "why does it seem so inviting"

You do seem to have a true passion for the place that you live, and that is rare these days. Everyone needs to understand that nothing is perfect, and what we have isn't so bad.... This is another very enjoyable write from you. Keep up the great work, Matthew!
