The Empire State Building is a giant middle finger Concrete is broken, NYPD, taxis racing, red light green light I enter the hand of the city through it's capillaries breaking mad concrete Warm gusts of **** grime, and transportation swallow me The city feeds off dreams and hope which we personally, willingly give up We all somehow learn to accept this fate  The passerby no longer human but broken mirror  The hand inundates my eyes from breezes of tomorrow The spacy apartment, and the affluent career and the acquantanceship Of the handful of New Yorkers that run the hand: all questionable plans today It's as if the hand's grasp, although sharp and brick, would venerate your intellect, guaranteed If that's the case, I see wizards of wisdom everyday snoozing on concrete and cardboard and plastic Bearded, black with dirt and skin, threads ripped by a world inferrior than the one in thier minds Empire "Middle Finger" State  of intellect, scrapping billion dollar clouds Sardine can subways, escalators, elevators, high on crack **** speed of sound The cash nerve system meltsdown into golden chips to feed the pigeons Glass and steel craft spaces for modernity to be sold like a Washington Heights ***** You can feel the growth of the hand at the end of your intestines It's a warm, uncomfortable vibration revealed in your ******** Foreign tongues buzz through the air, through your hair for 19.95 New York needs a haircut, some profound discipline so we wake up from this bizzare life of welcomed pain You once charmed me with hopes of culture, open minds, connections, real connections, love and laughter Yet, Today I am hungry in Murray hill I am cold in Chelsea I am broken in Union Square I ***** in SoHo I have fallen in the East River And I bleed on financial monoliths  Someone have mercy on my wills It is an intention trying to be fulfilled But failed when it became self-aware
