In the ‘Rat Race’
Neon notices
Flourescent lights
Illuminating sky scraper heights
Bustling bodies
Vocalised vision
Focused on a shopping mission
Strolling strangers
Muffled chatter
Courting couples
Engrossed in natter
City life
Fast & furious
Hustle bustled busy strife
Nobody knows nobody
Everyone is unaware
No time to stop to speak
In the ‘Rat Race’ smoggy air
Red.. Yellow.. green...GO
Rushing with others in a flow
Revving of the engines
Emissions oozing out
Masked mouthed faces
This is what that’s all about
Living in the city
Is not for the countryman
No rest from the action
Everything on a timeplan
Like a fish out of water
He lives in the countryside
Hurrying to catch his train
To escape this battle of life & hide

Hey Jilliano,
Cool write, my friend. I love NYC, I'm only a couple of hours from there. Sometimes it's nice to get lost in it's craziness. You captured the insanity of the city so well. Always love your writing.
