The City

Hustle, bustle, traffic trouble

Pandemonium on the double!

Lights too bright & trees too little

Calm is rare, for peace is brittle!

People come & go so fast

Future thinking, pondering past!

Living large or down & out

Loud as louts, some scream & shout!

Drinking, smoking, drugging too

The city streets are in a stew!

Smog & fog & crime to boot

City life reveals the truth!
