I am a city bard
I rap my story’s out loud
I chant my awen in the park
Where the ice-creamcards are around

I love the concrete buildings
The grey so grim the may look
It makes shine every flower
Such wonder, the ground may shook

I like the contrast that it offers
The mac against a quiet park
Stars, hiding from city lights
And bookstores in alleys, so dark

The red light district is my home
No, not for what you think
I just fell in love with suburban
The glow, the people, the stink

The shops, the rain, the antfarm
For not much of a reason
But it’s so dear to my feeling
The way it changes every season

The silence in the evening glow
High in a buildinged sky
The peace, the rest it proscribes
Just makes me want to fly

I adore the pigeons crapping everywhere
Flies you never seem to kill
And the way people start longing
For forests on every hill.

Excellent! One man's ceiling is another man's floor.

That is a very good lesson to me, a forest dweller, who doesn't understand city folk.

This is wonderful, Karlo. I am not a city dweller but worked in Cities most of my career so I understand how you can find beauty even in a city. (I liked watching the pigeons do their little pigeon-dance!)
