London Called

The streets are flowing
with majestic expects
The home of Queen
and peasants a great
successes and rejects
All milling ants on a speeding
conveyer belt line
minimal human interaction
just keep steps in time
Underground metal tubes
transport mass from A to B
City capital of the capable
power hungry and free
Proud historic buildings
decorate the skyline
and glass towers enclose
aspiring ants at prime
Pavements not a cover of gold
just an expanding homeless abode
'Click' 'Click' picture here
picture there
take image to the World elsewhere
Leave a heart print in
this power driven place
Go forth enlightened
and leave aspiring ants
to this unending 'Rat Race!'

Hi Wendy I always think of London
too fast a pace of life, this line
"minimal human interaction"
I felt this whenever I visited
I would`nt want to live there
My son lived there for awhile and loved it
and he goes back regularly
I think you describe the place and
feel of London well
Great write
Merry Christmas to you and yours Debs x

Thanks Debs yes I've just come back from London as my son and his wife live there and I spent a lot of time

on the underground. I wrote this poem on the train back. Think I captured the essence of the place.

Merry Christmas to you and your family too x
