CITY LIFE

We co-exist, the cars and I
I walk along, they drive on by
Each at quite a different pace
Avoid intruding other’s space

Invisible for most of time
Searching for the life sublime
For peace and comfort we do chase
All slaves we are to our rat race

Working hard because we must
Place our lives in those we trust
One false step one errant word
Collisions caused it’s most absurd

Those cars and people ebb and flow
This way that way all do go
But of our fate are we the master?
To get ahead we must go faster.

In those cars I see me
And in me themselves they see
Wishing for a life that’s cleaner
Where we pray is the grass greener?
