The Old Man And The City by cegxie(m): 7:59pm On Feb 17, 2015 |
He left the town a long time ago, The place he once called home He had seen it all The good, the bad and the ugly, And they left their marks on him He was among the founding fathers The men who built this city Long before I was born Generations after he reigned supreme Like is life, The city with time evolved Life become too fast And his fond memories fast fading The City out-living him. The Old man and the city Every now and then he shuttles Aiming to slow the pace of time What he saw, we may never know The people had come of age But His voice we still hear Sometimes he crows Sometimes he croaks Sometimes he barks And sometimes he will hiss. Because we only heard of heroics And the labours of our heroes past, The words he speaks are sometimes in parables. Casting stones here and there, The old man and the city rebelled The clocks ticks again and again Heroes and villain Kings and criminals Teachers and thieves Makes me wonder what we will remember him for ! |
