The Skyscrapers

 I look up.. Up to the sky

The buildings in mid, the skyscrapers

Fade my vision line

The stars, the twinkles

Replaced by the window shades

The freshness, the breeze

Replaced by the man made caves

Tall and straight

Unanimous yet anonymous 

I look up.. to feel light 

I see the heaviness.. of glitter and shine

Artificial.. yet the truth

In the towers numbered with letters

In the letter towered, floors numbered

On the numbered floors, alphanumeric flats 

Carrying all our dreams, fear, hope and plight 

Ironical, it’s for what all crave

To own a coffin

In this cement’s grave.
