Last Day At The Hospital

I wake up



On the soft bed
To the regular sound of the beeps
The machines hum patiently
In a room quite and gloomy


Obscure faces look at me
Some smile, while some stare
Words fall from them
Like glass crashing somewhere beyond


A soft hand touches my neck
A cold needle enters my vein
A hurrying note of concern in the murmurs
Running feet breaks the calm


The sound of wheels rolling
Passing through doors and corridors
Into a room where the bright light hangs
One more struggle before the journey begins

I wake up

In this City

Dawn breaks the day


The sun gleams on my window

A million aspirations waits

In this city of opportunities



Cars, Buses & Bikes flash by

It’s like walking in a machine

Shoulder to shoulder, face to face

This city is wide awake



Corporate games and lobbying galore

Restaurants & Pubs are crawling with people

Shades of grey take its dues

Need to be caution in this city



Walk around through wants & need

Trying desperately to be free

Roads too many and too many dead-end

This city can lose you



Hand in hand through malls & parks

Blush in eyes as twilight seeks

Time to spend in trust and care

This city can love you
