Ink On Paper

City Scene

Ambulances angle through crowded city streets

Builders battle in construction sites

Children chatter in busy playgrounds

Dustbins doze in street corners

Elders eat and talk in their favourite spots

Fish are not in the market for you

Gunshots in the police station echo through the building

Honeymoon couples sit in the park

Illustrations in books shine in the sunlight

Jokers run wild in Crumbolo Circus

Kids go to school everyday

Lonely elders in the Elder's House

Money clatters into the cashiers

Nobody notices the homeless on the streets

Ovens bake our lovely pies

People crowding the subway stations

Quiet libraries scattered to all corners

Rents due to be paid

Sunshine on my face

Tea parties littering the small backyards

Uniformed policemen on patrol

Vigorous detectives on the case

Waves brushing the sunny coast

Yawning officers lounging in the office buildings

Zooming express trains on the tracks.

- This poem was done when I was pretty young. I have edited some parts but it's moreover the same. =D
