City
Where
life is inexpensive
And
things are easy on the pocket!
One
can get food to fill belly
Except
no shelter to cover the head.
Children,
adults, and aged
Grinds
alike whole day
Earns
enough to sustain
In
this paced city
That
costs momentary happiness
Leaves
lasting damages to memory
For
many more years to come!
So,
city
Molds,
twists, and turns
One’s
shape and soul
Makes
one either value life
Or
take it for granted,
Since
life is cheap here
And things are pocket friendly!
