The City

by DFURY

As I walk through the city, surrounded by concrete, inhaling polluted air I hear pneumatic drills and sirens, they are violence to the ear I see people full of stress, scurrying rat-like along dirt-stained paths I smell fast food and decay, my senses dulled by this toxic smog The chaos suffocates, oppresses and burdens my breath I think this is it. This is us. This is what we are.
