Go elsewhere

Life’s   for  strangers in the city here,
Who left their birthplace wanting  better pay
So many  people’s faces look afeared

The mass of crowds  brings on this paranoia
While Georgian buildings,  beautiful, decay
Life’s   an  alien in the city here

From the doorways ugly faces leer
Like evil children,  tantalised dismayed
Many people,  nobody is near.

The birds don’t sing, sometimes I hear them jeer
They fly in circles in a  bold display
Life’s as hot as Hades, living here.

My eye is dry, it lacks a single tear
While I become more static with despair
Many people,  nobody who’s near.

Why can’t I be merry, like cards say?
Why do thoughts so savage my heart flay
Life is  lonely in the city’s lairs
If you like kind and calmness, go elsewhere
