In the modern world
The city never sleeps
Time is fleeting
Rush hour creeps
All around the bustle speaks
Its noise a hum in natures Keep
The older streets are full of yearning
For the world where life was once discerning
A glitch in time induces silence
For just one moment of perfect pause
The air is still
The light is ethereal
A haze of heat
Your mind is reeling
No sound penetrates
No vibrations
Your mind is clear
Suddenly lost in aural clearing
Natures cruelty on mankind
The noise returns the senses dulled
This man made cell
Of aural hell
The rumble stays
A hum invades
The city awake
Never still, never in slumber
