The city’s heartbeat throbs
Beneath my feet,
I can feel the heat
Of the roads
That form like veins
Connecting & Carrying life
To and fro –
The city is aglow
With activity.
It swells with the bustle
Of urban energy,
So many variables
Generating complete entropy
The city speaks!
If you listen
There is music in the rythm
Of this asphalt jungle.
The windows create a prism
With precise angles that reflect
& shower light above our heads
I hear the city speak
& what it says
Is to continue to grow
But not forget history.
To be original & unique
But remember common humanity.
To choose acceptance & peace
But fight for change and equity…
The city speaks
When you are ready,
To listen.
