the city of shadows


The city noise and rumble
The waking hours seem forever
The motorists driving like zombies
Of ligh and dark what's the difference?

Ah..it is the money
Nothing else that matters
Work hard for the cash
It makes the living hard to forget

The crying in the dark
Some homeless can't go home
Living in the hot humid corridors
What else is there for hope?

The drug addicts in midnight raids
Looking for the next fix for a high
Things they can steal; money they can rob
What else is there for tomorrow?

Well..tomorrow is still alive!
The pages haven written out as yet
Maybe tonight there will be changes
The transformation into a whole clean world?

But the city will grow
The familiar shadows of actors and actresses
The stage set for tomorrow
Will it be the same shadows?
