• Towers surround,
    Blocking the dark-painted sun.
    Hiding the world
    From blind eyes.
    Between these walls,
    Thick air,
    Choking,
    Strangling,
    Like Death’s cold hands
    Crushing lungs.
    A man,
    Sprawled on the sidewalk,
    Dirty as what he ate.
    Hope lost,
    Helpless.
    Stop!
    Notice
    The wreck around you.
    Tragedy.
    A city
    Of death.
