It's the big cities that fascinate me But then ruins are the sights to see The dark lit corners With broken shards of mourners Loud car horns Who bite at your feet with thorns Bursting with their party voices Made of rich history and choices Small talk on the engines Stories poking you like pins Of running traffic lights With power at the peak of heights Something like a aurora borealis They speak of this A city of lights and wonders Shaking from the roar of thunder Twinkling like stars on the ground The whispers can be heard from the ashes that lay around.
