The City
by Safi Abdi → (All Poetry by Safi Abdi)

 The passage of time

Blooms revive

Before leaves dry

Before the Lord Divine.

 

Thousands of years

Love and heirs

Trinkets and what

A city wears.

 

For worldly delight

Those who thrive on lie,

Sensational verse

Minds inverse.

 

When ground is steady

Under feet, unready

For that Day’s plight:

Who gets high

On the higher Plane?

 

But when Calamity flies

And news travels

By the teardrops:

Life, what a lie.

Life, what a lie.

Down through the years, the city becomes many things… Many different things to the people who inhabit it. Cool verses.

Hail Poet!



Healthy long life through a blissful creative living!



I have enjoyed the reading of an edifying poem that strikes the dynamo of knowledge, stimulates ontological thoughts and historical facts... "The City" glows on constellation Awareness.



May Mother Poet keep You company in the major art's forest; and may the hummingbirds of wonders guard Your poetic garden.



In reverent appreciation,

Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU
