TODAY - THE WAY OF LIFE.







Looming and luminous
Against the dark skies
Tall and menacing in the day
Taller shadows
Prophecy of a doomsday!
Broken, battered, vacant eyes
Beseeching sights and heavy sighs
Drowned by the cacophony
And noise
Contrasting lives
For joy, we strive,
Endless- cheerless jive.
Frenetic existence
Shrinking patience
Burgeoning distance
Automated enthusiasm
Some price we pay for urbanization.

    Love your description... makes me wonder why we subject ourselves to the world of big city. Then I look at the picture and there is a stark lovely seductiveness there.
