Analysis of This City
reiNvented and renewed, a city stirs and is awoken.
walls splintered with age, scrawlEd with graffiti are
collapsed for toWering structures of glass and steel.
new frames of art are created for the sake of Yielding
a resurrection long sOught after, escaping worlds
of ash and rubble for a single woRld of colors intense.
a city is born and the people will follow, hooKed to the
lights and the sounds, so eleCtrifying, they are also
reborn. change to us Is nothing; as a familiar note
travels Through the air, we see all that has changed is
the same as it has alwaYs been. this city never dies
and we are awoken.
