Analysis of The City Falls
The urban sprawls.
The "tagger" scrawls.
The rubbish hauls.
The maggot crawls.
The harlot trawls.
The bandit calls.
The neighbor brawls.
The vicious mauls.
The traffic stalls.
The edgy galls.
The toddler squalls.
The parent palls.
The frosty shawls.
The tetchy awls.
The servant thralls.
The critic spalls.
The city falls.
