Nyc Is the City Never Sleeps

New York City is really the
City that never sleeps
Witches and Warlocks are 
Always up at night
Trying to curse it
But too many want to come
Here to live their dreams
I grew up where a red carpet
Was never raised
Even celebrities showed
Up I never cared to go 
Out and support them
Because New York City
Persecutes Christians
The news stations not airing
My story is just the beginning
The businesses and people
Here are Aeithiest because of them
I faced a lot of unemployment
I was tricked into move in mentally ill
Housing
Thanks to false advertising
Why did this city that's called so great
Allowed me (your resident) to be
Treated with disgrace
This is round three that my hot water
Is shut off
Next time I'm going to have report this 
Issue again because this business
Is runner illegally
And it doesn't want to go to sleep
When it comes to evil at all

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
