The City is a bee hive but there is no Queen.... So inhabitants have no order everybody chasing their own dream. A colony of concrete building rising up from hot paved sidewalk, Shoulders marching in business attire and on their cellphones they talk. They are building something but not sure what exactly, Only following the expectations of society. Shoppers with shopping bags of various purchases they may never need, Thier ego and others desired expectation they feed. Strollers with babies pushed by bent back,tired Mothers, Inside the exotic clubs and bars you can find the Fathers. Theaters filled with people with no imagination, Churches and cults with lost souls without a vision. Teenagers dressed in the latest fashion, Heading for a future with no income to survive on. Yet the City draws people from far and near, Got to get that dollar is the only voice they hear.
She arrived on the country bus with such hope,her best dress and a sparkle in her eye. Ten years later that country bus took her back home with a swollen belly,addicted to drugs and the sparkle had died.
Sad reality put into realistic words. I was raised in the big apple part of my childhood. A 12-year-old could take a subway on her own to cross the city to go to school. Now even too dangerous. Things have changed so much since then. You cannot even feel safe in a small country town anymore. Nice write. The city has lost their King and Queen. Thanks for sharing. SM
