York

York

By dan ankers

Discarded, overlooked, denied

Disgraced

And thrown to the side

So many of this city’s faces have lost all sense of pride

And really it’s not so bad, to have lost or never to never have had

Because while it makes them rather grumpy at times

At least they aren’t out walking and wearing

Selfish badges

I mean yes, they are out to get their own

But at least they’re not climbing ladders to get to nowhere

And in the meanwhile, pushing others down

No, they just want to get to their home

Maybe they’re tired from work

Or maybe they just want to hide in a beer or two and drown

Until the next day…

Do it all over again

I see plenty of children,

Smiling faces

They remind me of the sun

If I could do one last thing for my city

It would be to remind them all

That They

And It

are Oh So Pretty
