Vision Poem for C3

The pulses of originality beat

Art and wonder, grime and horror are here

The angry scream, the hopeless drink their fear

Here in this unique place the tribes all meet

The pounding of a million wing-tipped feet

Rushing from the train to their home that’s near

In fatigue they stop to enjoy a beer

The aggrandized have their lazy-boy seat

Yet He still haunts the alleys and the lights

Longing to woo them to his bleeding arms

And give them what they forget they long for

Teaching them joy in surrendering rights

Endowing peace in the midst of alarms

We will show them how to open the door.
