The City
I am in awe of this energetic city
With her euphoric, sensational and stimulating ambience
Intimidating me with her magnificent dazzling posture
Like the glittering rays of the morning sun
The City
An oyster of great fortune
And embarrassing misfortunes
A potluck for everyone
A cynosure of all eyes
Breathtakingly beautiful
Draped in colourful patterned graffiti’s
Covered in a beehive of diverse activities
With the hustling and bustling of a maddening crowd
The City
A haven of fripperies
A nest for hoodlums
A hub of many nations
An echo of modernism
The City
The pulse of a nation
With provocative curves and bends
Streets and Highways
Roads and Rails
Enmeshed in rich historic stories
Of heroes and champions
The unscrupulous, the homeless and the Aged
Humans in different colours, shapes and sizes
The good, the bad and the ugly
Clamouring for daily bread
The City
Ensnarled in fragmented complex compositions
Man’s creation
The Urban City
The Cosmopolitan City
The soul of human adventures
Bringing the peoples of the world together
Under one big fat umbrella
The City
The Melting Pot of Civilization
