Dying Under These Lights
Hello to the city,
 A glorious wonder of specters.
 Approaching it with awe
 Would be an understatement.
 The orange lights illuminating the concrete,
 The buildings tremble over you.
 A lunatic would be frantic,
 The giants of the city never leave, they follow.
 The blocks are endless,
 A map could lose itself.
 The steam and smoke topple over towers,
 Filling the air smugly.
 A mixture of culture and it's food
 Collide with the essence of the air.
 The smell of the city,
 It's iconic like Coca Cola.
 I drink it endlessly,
 If it was always available to me.
 Present me a city,
 I'll show you it's pride.
 A tribe unshaken,
 A family forever.
 The city never sleeps,
 When you do, Keep one eye open.
