Death of life
By
r, aged 15.
Tracy Collyer.
City kids. . Suckled on a footpath, Cradled in a windowbox. Your lullaby is a singing siren — Listen, city kids. 1 City men. Your inspiration comes from a succession of streetlights, Your solace from massive steel structures. Your beauty i? all concrete and brick — Look,, city men. City graves. Embossed with apologies and excuses, Your plastic flowers are cold and harsh. Your contents were strangled by progress — Cover them, city graves.
