Here in This Unreal City...

New York/West Side/Harlem

Here-- in this unreal city

Roams the shadow of mankind.

It passes darkly...here, there,

Leaving silence in its wake.

Dear reader, can you hear anything? nothing?

But the silent--endless noise?

Listen! I can hear the inner, silent, everlasting cries and whispers

Of children who must bear with IT

What curious faces they wear--

Masks in front of lifeless faces-feigned happiness.
A sham! They play the Game until

The Game plays them.

life/death. (Peek a Boo!)

Unreal City-- Death wins often.

But Rejoice

Make your tribute for they were brave. Carla Scarlett
