From this city I want to flee, <br />to find a place of some solace, <br />not again I want to return, <br />where city lights sometimes blind people. <br /> <br />I still think about how it was, <br />from this city I want to flee, <br />I cannot fit in this anthill, <br />a bridge to escape, I must find. <br /> <br />The city makes me uneasy, <br />I want to wander on the beach, <br />from this city I want to flee, <br />I want to vanish by bus or train. <br /> <br />Now I splash in a city stream, <br />at times are in the open air, <br />about freedom I can just dream, <br />from this city I want to flee.<br /><br />Gert Strydom<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/from-this-city-i-want-to-escape-free-verse-quatern/
