Back to the city after ten long years,
The city of fines and unknown fears.
Tall glass buildings that cast long shadows –
Manicured gardens, lawns and meadows.
Sun-kissed days and neon-lit nights;
Computer-controlled traffic lights.
Goodies in shops under bright white light –
The tourist and the shoppers’ delight.
Deep green trees on every side
Adding beauty to a timeless tide.
Wide, paved roads and glitzy malls;
With soul-less souls, like clockwork dolls.
