City of Dreams

This is the city of dreams
where skyscrapers with big names rip
through the clouds, and
money betrays gravity.
It’s where half-baked ideas of
all shapes and rawness
come to life with a little bit of adventure
and capital, millions
spilling like rain into sewage.
It’s where you get with the trends
or you get left behind,
stuck in a daze as time passes you by.
This is the city where the dreams are endless,
where every newcomer dares to dream bigger,
gnawing and feeding on your little daydreams
until they become nightmares.
