A New City

I see it collapse before my eyes,

The city I have built of lies.

The buildings slowly but surely fall,

The terrible nothing is affecting all.

The crumbling pillars and the paths;

The empty faces, donned with masks.

It all disappears, there's nothing around.

I'm the last thing standing in this town.

I shed a tear for the city that's gone,

But I know my pain won't last for long.

A new city will be built in its place -

A city of trust, honesty and faith.
