Ode To Los Angeles Poem by Kira Wessels

Los Angeles is different from any other city
It is unique.
It carries itself on the executives of companies
And the unfortunates on the streets.
Los Angeles represents its people
And it is not afraid to show
Itself as it is.
Los Angeles knows it cannot hide crimes
And knows it cannot have prejudice
Against any one race.
Los Angeles has been built not only on concrete and steel
But by the passions of its people
And is filled in by the dreams of those who come here.
Los Angeles may be dangerous
And city officials may not like
Its spice and sass,
As parents do not like
Rebellious children.
But Los Angeles knows what it is best at,
And that is,
Being Los Angeles.
