City of Light

Approaching the City of Light
Awaited salvation in sight
White walls so glorious, rising imperious, reaching implausible heights

An army of paupers outside
Running with nowhere to hide
Hoping and reaching, praying, beseeching the City will let us inside

Hear us shout
Else we die
Save us now
War is coming

Exodus nascent in fright
Amoral invaders behind
Rampaging, ravaging, pillaging, savaging; driving us onward in flight

Outside the City of Light
Gates remain locked from inside
Knowing it's hopeless, abandoned defenceless, we consign ourselves here to die
