100
kilometre perimetered city
Knit
by joining several areas, several places,
Big
Big buildings
Sprawling big big roads
Speeding
countless vehicles
Helter
shelter running citizens
Wow
wow what a city, what a city
Like
amazement no longer holds sway
No
longer enamoured by the empty vastness
No
means a heaven by all means a living hell
Pushing
the living conditions to lowly extremes
Forcing
a mechanical life with no time to spare
Some
hundred kilometres away
There
lies a tiny village
Nestling in nature lush green fields
Surrounding the paradise on Earth
Just foot paths, mud roads
Very free to move about with no jostling
A cool, clean air to breathe
Clear healthy water to drink
A far cry from the maddening hell city
Shrouded in calm, serene settings
Inducing a yearning
to go there, be there
A lucky oasis to happen
in dry battered life
