Vertical Disturbance
A top the sky scraper
Gazing upon the city so bleak
the government so forgetful,
the citizens so weak
People yelling constantly
Kids playing in the streets
Gun shots heard nightly
With no attempt to be discreet
From one building to another
sounds mix together to form
a sort of music of this time and age
Some of peace and belonging,
of struggle and difficulty,
and some of violence and rage
As you stare into the city twilight
think about what lurks below you
honest people, with an honest heart
evil men and women, who long to rip you apart
This is the city, I know it so well
Some struggle to get here
Others just drop here, and stay where they fell
I know this places consequence
It's confusion, emotion, regret
Yet it's so easy to figure out
funniest of all, I don't even live here....yet.
