City of The Unsung Heroes
-follow the thrillers
-to the land of the trojans,
-where the dealers mind only the ravens
-and the mighty flying indolent sharks;
-where the dimmed sun dances backward
-in a displaced orders,
-where the giant darkness takes
-the front seat
-many cities,
-many nations,
-these are the cities of the suffered
-unsung heroes,
-what then is the good names
-of your waiting cities?
-our procastinating cities?
-can't we all make ours;
-the cities of the honoured heroes?
