Big City Life

Fri Apr 10, 2009, 3:58 PM
A friend of mine almost got killed during a mugging. Makes me furious that it's not even fucking vaguely safe to walk down the streets in broad daylight.


Big City Life,
Me try fi get by,
Pressure nah ease up no
matter how hard me try.
Big City Life,
Here my heart have no base,
And right now Babylon dep on me case.

People in a show,
All lined in a row.
We just push on by,
Its funny,
How hard we try.

Take a moment to relax.
Before you do anything rash.

Don’t you wanna know me?,
Be a friend of mine.
I’ll share some wisdom with you.
Don’t you ever get lonely,
From time to time
Don’t let the system get you down

Soon our work is done,
All of us one by one.
Still we live our lives,
As if all this stuff survives.

Don’t you wanna know me?,
Be a friend of mine.
I’ll share some wisdom with you.
Don’t you ever get lonely,
From time to time
Don’t let the system get you down

The Linguist across the
seas and the oceans,
A permanent Itinerant is what I've chosen.
I find myself in Big City
prison, arisen from the
vision of man kind.
Designed, to keep me discreetly
neatly in the corner,
You’ll find me with the
flora and the fauna and the
hardship.
Back a yard is where my
heart is still I find it
hard to depart this Big
City Life.

Sorry to hear 'bout your friend, mate. :|

It shows how much of a failure the government is at helping the poor out... and what many poor people would rather do than admitting they're poor.

I mean, sure, a lot of criminals aren't the poor and just do it for the extra cash, but I think it's rather obvious that randomly mugging people is a rather desperate way. <<;

It's been a long time, so long that it feels like back in the day we were young superheroes that people knew, and now those old days are passing away with old age. Am I the only one not giving up? Seems like your with me, and even my own faith is waning, straining, but I still haven't given up.

So as of right now, how is you and your friend fairing?

I really like the poem by the way, it has an offset that I haven't seen even great writers be able to pull off. I haven't done one yet, but this one just takes the cake, and the reason being is because it feels so real, I can really feel the tone, and attitude of those words, but maybe mainly because I myself have felt this way before, but by not comparison. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this, or if it has been a long time since I have, but I hope I have the privilege of meeting you someday.

May the way of the blade lead you to victory.
