Shot Gun City
Brought from Romania
Shipped over from home
And now I'm here,
To help myself.
But to head back to family
Would hurt the most.
If I could ride the horse
Through the tiny corridors
of Italy once again
I would.
But no.
My family needs this.
to see this city crumble
would be the death of you.
So now we see eye to eye
With Paisley in
The background
And feet unmoved;
For I stand tall
And you do not.
No one lives in New York,
They say now
They move on.
This poem is about:
Me
My family
My community
My country
Our world
