Urban Cacophony

The spirit and frenzy of life in the city,

The incessant honking and blinding maze

Of bumpy roads and lights ablaze,

Invoke a jarring sense of self-pity.

But the urban streets are winding and long

 Each turns a mystery, as you meander along

Arousing a fear of going wrong

But hoping to reach your destination strong.

That’s life for you in the town

A disarming medley of joy and frown,

Where old and young let their hair down

And get lost in the din of the crowd uptown.
