This City Never Sleeps

This City Never Sleeps, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

It has recently lost its loved ones
this city almost mother like weeps
yes in grief
this city never sleeps
into the corroded hearts
of our hardened politicians
it peeps
others sow they reap
in a mire of tainted notes
neck deep
in a world of counterfeit votes
blood seeps
what was once yours
is now mine for keeps
our elected black sheep
