Swimming in the City

It seems our world
Has reached to edge
So let's be hurled
Right off that ledge

Through the open air
The next city lies under
The location anywhere
That one lives without plunder

To swim within the city
Is only a dream
But hardly a pity
To tear at the seam

Diving through towers
Exciting my soul
Passing the hours
Burning like coal

Fighting the years
But letting them pass
Allowing the tears
But away from the mass

Watering the street
Cleaning the dirt
Hoping to meet
My last known hurt

If our time is done
In the next few days
Then I'll allow the sun
And it's comforting rays

Life may be short
But can be made long
By joining the sort
That live it wrong

So if we live life our best
Then we know that its pretty
And we leave all the rest
To swim within the city
