One City...Two Tales...

CATEGORY

life

Far be us from the tale

Of two cities; rather, we are

The stark reality of one city

With two wrinkled tales;

Distinctive differences

Are evident in physical settings

And the hue of respective populations

As well as varied economically

Induced toxic stress;

While one cardinal side

Reflects being frozen in time,

The other flows freely with the time;

As an ocean’s salt and water

Do not flow separately but together

As one, so must become the city’s flow

Least we become the forecasted disaster.
