In This City
by melvin (the persona)
(picture taken in july '07 thailand - bangkok trip)Imagine this
Silence fills the weary night
No music to serenade while the crows slumber
The stars shine dimmer here
In the city of no return
Where children starve
And alcohol impairs the addicted
Where drugs rule the sullied streets
And innocence is stolen away
Darkness reigns this city
Light casts more darkness; shadows
Where the cruel hides away
With their deceits and lies
Hope is lost so quickly
In this filthy city of the broken
Where even the cry and groan of children
Are quieted and ignored
Where even the most talented
Are shunned and their dreams crushed
Hate rules this city
Love is forgotten so hastily
Revenge burns their hearts
Splitting up so many more
With deaths of the pure
And killings of the wrongly accused
In this city where everything burns
Even these words burn to ashes
And blow away in the wind
This poem was composed, to discuss about vices being rampant in metropolitans, and how it can impale civilisations, on Dec 26th, 2007.
