In the City

In the city there are no stars
There’re artificial lights, skyscrapers, and cars
No stars wink and twinkle at you
The clear night pool is disturbed by something new
I turn my eyes towards the night sky
And wonder how others can live with this lie
The city is a wasted space
Filled with an alien life packaged with lace
I cover my eyes with my hand
And send a desperate wish to some distant land
For in the city it’s hard to sleep
Without shining stars to watch over you keep
In the city there are no stars
There’re artificial lights, skyscrapers and cars
