Sunshine

Sunrise over my beloved city - where promises are made, laughter ring, coffee sipped, small talk exchanged, friendships renewed, jobs done, tears shed, vows broken, spit spat, lies spoken, money extorted. City of life and death, joy and sorrow, love and hate, past and future ... a city of people masking their fear and pain through makeup, bravado, attitude ... and deep inside is a bleeding heart begging for compassion. My city - I love it.
