LONDON TOWN,
a million different things
9 million multi-peopled.
I must pass most of them by train
Every Single Night.
Scurrying home, ants in the face of
tube time tardiness, not the only ones
In a long line of Stifling Hate.
What means ‘this city’, ‘Cultural Diversity’?
discussed ever conversely
means one reality vs all elses
& let’s face it, everyone else’s is what wins.
Apparently there’s no chance ‘gainst yobs
or a Brick Lane India,
and Fins point upwards, hunt,
from Old Street’s main vein.
Love to hate? Hate to love it?
It’s all we talk about Sup Hot Coffee
the daily grind, and headlines vary
- worth the paper they’re written on
- Metro or London Lite.
More seriously Politic evil,
Does Daily Battle Godly Goodness,
but hatefully it’s spin over policies,
that usually deigns to win.
Is the love affair, over?
Star-crossed lechers leave me,
and my own kiwi love interest Flew.
Away off home.
Elsewhere tramps’ heads hit boozy benches
- mouth rude words,
‘ Very Very Busy’, or ‘Sorry I couldn’t phone.’
So what happens now?
- well, my one knight in shining’s
the man who ‘ll stop.Then drive me,
all the way home.
That’s all now, I’m sorry,
I’m also Quite Super-Busy.
There strikes the city’s watchman,
Ben’s too brazen bell.
