City Lights Showcase
A vision of the perfect futuristic city
laid out by a futuristic committee
counseling the street people right
surrounded by great walls, welcoming invite
family's live there safe a sound
this place is encircled and perfectly round
bright lights, neon glow, flying machines go
once empty space, past long time ago
bustling with energy, structures floating air
outsiders jealousy, wishing they were there
Omni presents of love and joy abound
intellectual notes, to a city now renowned
rumors on the outside of pleasures inside
the quality of people, must they divide
entry to this world, existence does remain
human aura, healthy glow, energy from a brain
a culture to itself within the United States
unfortunately now, the future, necessary gates
mysteriously hidden within this great sight
smaller circle councils, secret society tight
