Image for the poem Dark city

Dark city

Cursed into darkness it rose
A city that never sleeps
It stands taller than all it's foes
In the deepest admits of deceit

The twilight swirling angry
Blocking gods from sight
Thunder and lighting roaring
Sustaining the city's might

Industrial surrounding walls
A prison built by our hands
To keep us from getting cold
Yet homeless and hungry still lands

A plague of selfish decisions
That will burn the city down
If the gods could see
They would surely frown

For the darkness is the devil
His prison to cause hate
No beauty masks deadly power
No, its too late
