There are no woods or crystal creek,
No gentle breeze to caress my cheek,
No strong oaks with majestic spread
There is brick and steel instead

Combustion echoes on towers tall
It’s hawkers, not hawks that I hear call,
Domestic disputes sounding loud
Dust and smoke mingles with the clouds.

I wander down broken concrete ways
Night travel for fear of days,
Where calm wraps in the darkness,
Allowing thought when sightless.

Find a quiet place to be,
Where to think and not to see

the countryside is so much more beautiful
than the areas you portray..you should get out more often into the sunshine...
although darkness becomes you.
Nicely written, both of them.

Urbanality ... I understand it well.

Stark yet effective poem.

never try to teach a pig to sing
it wastes your time AND annoys the pig
