For the Love of a City

 you,magnificent in allthat makes you, youyou with the nights,the darkness,your skies filled with starsor utter blanknessyou witnesslove stories,you witnessthe wars fought for peace,you witnessthe rise and fall of people,those people who are goingto bring you joy,you holddreams of many,you seemunattainable for many,you belongto many whowill rise above the restrictions placedon them,so when in doubt,remember all thisbecause if cities do ever thinkand feel insecurelike humans do,this is an ode to you.  -Meera Manoj
