Thanks for the comments everyone. I really appreciate the praise=) Here's another..

The cityscape dreams silently
Wishes silently
For it all to wash away
Melting into puddles
Along the crowded street
The concrete sighs

Car exhaust and newspaper stands
Graffitied brick walls
Shuttersclotheslinesfactories
Harboring the silent dreamers
Beauty in those tiny buildings
Is it blindness or simplicity


Rain storms in sweltering heat
Lightning cracks the sky
Streetlights blaze and sirens scream
Rainfall floods the gutters
Open your eyes and feel

Street signs like a parent’s wisdom
Turn off at this exit
It’s time you went home
Behind those brick walls
The puddles and
Working class
There is a truth
