City skies shields them away
The skies blocked in skyscrapers
Have you seen sunshine?
In a dark daylight
It hangs
Hidden away
Behind those monsters
Sky high edifices
Looking down in frowns
Of laughter at us
As we walk the sides and streets
They keep the sunshine
But never for long
Olaniyi G. Akanji
