There
Cities are nothing more
Than oceans in pockets
And hidden by walls
Deep in the emerald hills.
They sing in the voices of
Flutes but are poisoned
By the greed of factory smoke
While the ashen children, long gone,
Dance in the winds of flower petals
Of seasons past and the birds,innocent,
Are strewn with bullets from hands dyed
In wars that are fought for the children and by the children
Who are nothing more than joyful shadows
Sitting, Playing, Drowning and
Now swallowed by oceans of concrete cities.
