Metropolis

Metropolis, oh, what a bliss!

Those ‘neon’ flashes

are 'luring'  promises

of dreams dreamt

and aspirations sought.

Yet, before you dare,

be aware

that a ‘lot’ happens ‘undercover’

and you could be devoured by ‘insatiable’ hunger.

A multiplicity no doubt

with beautified cityscape

that makes you ‘gape’,

where millions throng

with hopes clung.

Yet, again,

remember,

beauty is but skin deep,

cut throat policy  and duplicity

are  behind that plasticity.

You’ll be intrigued

by the games  played

in million ways.

There'll be a battle of the senses

inside your head.

You'll begin to ask 

if life is a game
