Don't Easily Abandon The Hope.

Don't Easily Abandon The Hope.

 

Paint drips from fingertips

Capitalism is king

Canvas streets black on white

In London death bells ring

 

Buildings rise and rise

Headbutt the sky

Like Icarus we long to fly

We flap our arms in turn

 

NYC streets tagged with hope

Colour blots on grey

Heads turn, a whisper says

Don't Easily Abandon The Hope
