The City that Never Sleeps

The City that Never Sleeps 

NYC

the people and lights

the places and heights

where life is everywhere

and everywhere is life

a place where culture thrives

and creatures hide 

a land where skyscrapers transcend the skies

yellow taxis escort wide- eyed tourists 

to see the place where dreams exist

Times Square at the heart of it all

full of the hustle and bustle 

the restaurants, the malls

Carpe diem is a way of life 

where actors go to make headlines 

The New York Times is the god of news 

which spin tall tales of winners and the people who lose

a place where buildings reach the heavens 

and people pay their respects to 9/11

New York City is a magical land 

which bestows a part of its kaleidoscopic hand 

to the young girls who are way too deep 

in love with "the city that never sleeps"
