Dark and cumulus
Bright and vibrant
Melting pot Of People,
places & things
What do you know of diversity
Until you've stepped foot here
Concrete jungle
Filled with the contents of Noah's arc
No one exactly the same
No one exactly complaining
A place of acceptance and rejection
Triumphs and defeats
Contradictions upon clichés
Disappointments & above expectations
Find yourself
Lose yourself too
In the avenues & streets
Tattooed along the towers
Warm smiles
Harsh faces
Masked by what needs to get done
Not for the weak
But will make the weak strong
Not for the intolerant
But will widen every crevice and corner
of your mind
If you let it.
So let it
And you'll see
And you'll live
And you'll fall in love
With the city,
That never sleeps
