Big City

March 12, 2013
By Anonymous

Dark skies and bright lights
with smoke in the air
horns honking, people shouting
the rush of the big city

Dirty ground and tall buildings
overwhelming, overjoyed, and obsessed
by the big city

Seems like it never ends
stores and shops line the streets
cars at stand still
the excitement of the city

Street performers and people selling souvenirs
tourist buying and watching it all
with no time to spare
people pushing and shoving

Wind whistles by singing
big city
big city
big city

The imagery is wonderful, and the ending works well :)
