Ode To The City

Missing the cold embrace of The City, Was adrift in a sea of humanity. Found revere in humility, Impoverished circumstances; I made my bed and took my chances. Found comfort in the smallest things, Found God in an alley off 17th and 7th. He was drunkenly ambling with a brick in his hand, He said, “I’m pickin up a weapon, nigga… you better understand.” Yea, though I walk through the valley of death, I fear no man.
