Creative Synergy

Attention demanded immediately
Impatient metropolis waiting
City embracing insomnia

Disorientated time
Mislead by neon daylight
Lightime at nightime
No right time for night

Fluorescent yellow streak
Loud taxi beep
Snatching away sleep

Consumers consuming a city
A city consuming consumers
Capitalist nirvana times squared
Only blank sky unexploited

Watching live TV
Recorded live in front of me
Falsified for the world to see

Wintry mix descending over
Misty mysterious Manhattan
Herded into uplifting elevators
To perch on a concrete mountain

Little Italy
A country within a village
A village within a city

Commotion in motion
Chinatown’s syndrome
Chinese Starbucks
Cost a lot of bucks

Nature reclaimed by concrete
Blocked out of square streets
People confined by sidewalks
No-one listens everyone talks

Liberty standing small
Liberty stranded on her island
Liberty silent

Ground Zero a monumental empty space
Where so many lives were displaced
A void everyone solemnly moves around/ The hole in the heart of New York City
