Analysis of Hollywood Blackens
Dawn approaches
Facing the wind
The heat scorches
My breath fades
Shadows awaken
From afar
A plume of smoke
On the horizon
The city falls
The sunlight
So extreme today
Two glowing stars
Showing icy glares
Bewildered I am
As I cradle
Unto death I follow
The earth shakes
Forever reminded
Of what I once was
A city on seven hills
