Walking At Night

Wundorlic' visions of beauty around
Glorious scenes shall unfold
Dazzling splendors surround 
When walkin' the streets at night, behold

From time to time on an avenue
Ye' see faintly silhouette expressions 
Of other lone·ly people who...
Are threat·ened by your lu·mi·nes·cence

No doubt, as you are by theirs 
H'ever, artificial light erases
The difference night and day compares
Mysteriously in the somber light places

Fore' be the darkness, 
It is easy to feel disoriented 
In the city at the dead of nightness 
Especially, if y'all are tired and demented

From roaming its burghal
It is not quite the same googling
In the image on empty street circle
No longer fighting against 'to-ing and fro-ing'

The solitary pedestrian's feet 
Begin to recall the real earth show
In all the city's internal concrete
Night time for daylight's dispossessed flow

Who walks alone in the streets at night? 
Da' 'sad.' 
Da' 'mad.' 
Da' 'bad.' 
Da' 'lost.' 
Da' 'tossed'
Da' 'sleepless.' 
Da' 'homeless.' 

All the city's internal oppressed
The night has always different 
The time for daylight's dispossessed...
The time for daylight's dissident 

Walking alone at night in the city 
Has been interpreted as an in-vite 
Of suspicion, moral and social gritty
Solitary people who walk the night
