That round metal you see its not just an ordinary sewer cap.
You see cars run on top of it,
people just walking by it.
Little do they know
once that grey dark cap opens;
darkness begins.
The happiness you once felt;
you will never feel it again.
A smile you once saw;
it will just be upside down.
The colors you see
are all black and white.
The streets cracked
the people with long sad faces.
Everyone just dressed the same,
walked the same;
talked the same.
Its cold, really cold.
its dark, pitch dark.
The trees, they are no trees
The grass, they is no grass.
This is a dark, surreal portrait of what lies beneath the city. I particularly like the lines that describe the long, sad faces and the black and white landscape that exists beneath the colorful, lively city.
