A Cold Grey Place

The plane descends

Into a smog

The sea barely visible

The runway appears suddenly.

 

A grey oppressive place,

Large mountains looming ahead

In the distance.

They seem to be watching. Waiting.

 

Cold, hard walls

Reflections are all you see

Staring back

At you

 

The customs were rough

And crowded.

A condescending look

And your passport thrown back at you

 

Out of the gates

More grey

The city's dead

Yet bustling with people

 

The smog just touches the top of the buildings

You smell smoke.

A concrete jungle

Cold and Grey.
