City Life

 
Bright delights but dull life
Hustle –bustle, chaos and strife
Way to thrive, a mechanical life
 
Most artificial, less nature
One society, mix culture
 
Hot concrete but cold steel
Many sympathies, but few will feel
Many laugh but some will smile
 
Disco, pub, hotel and club
Fun and frolic, city is the hub
 
Lots of thorns, a few roses
Fake friends but real foes                                                                             
Yours joy and yours woes 
 
 
Small families but little hearts
Big walls but small gates
 
Most are unknown, some are familiar
Future is uncertain, present is clear
All are distant, a few are near
 
City has various prospects
A lot of fiction, few are facts
 
Long to go, little to get
Few will act but many react
Some will give but many take
 
No penny, on the edge of the knife
Luck in your side, a lavish life                                                                           
 
                                                                                                                                
Few are wise, the most are smart
 All are mature, few are innocent
A race to run, don’t get outsmart
 
 
When you ride, don’t look aside
Long journey, but the gap is wide
 
I, my, for me is the only notion
Lots of motion, zero emotion
Bounty of pain, but few are potion
 
Sofa is mountain, Carpet is the sea
This is the city made for me
