City Experience

Let’s take a look at the tall building
that tickles the sky as we stand upon
the place where twenty-five year old
man died. And the tears fell where his
mama cried.

But let’s not linger around on the gloom
as we admire the beautiful street lights
that replace the stars and moon. Try not to listen to
those screams you hear of a girl being raped
and for god’s sake, she’s left alone.

Never mind that, focus on the loud night
life music that plays in the air and the people
dancing without care. Some of them might
pass out on the floor and won’t make it home
Till four in the morn—.

Don’t worry too much on that. Bask in the
sounds of people going about their days
and the sounds of horns sounding away.
But somewhere know that a man is poor so he
slings the rock for a dollar more.

Forget about that. Just focus on the cities galore.
and leave everyone else’s worries, struggles,
anger, depression, misfortune, sorrow, pain,
grief and heartache and forget about all of that.
Wipe it off your shoes at your door.
