City Lights

I search into the dark night sky
hoping one day I will see the stars.
Laying on the damp lifeless grass
I remember the busy city life has stolen them away.

I study the clouds in the sunny sky
hoping they hold the key to my serenity.
Laying on the warm soft sand
I realize serenity is filled by smoke from the factories.

I gaze into the mirror at the girl I see
hoping I will find me in her eyes.
Playing with my hair and makeup
I realize my identify has been hidden by the magazines.

I stare at the movie screen
hoping I will discover what love means.
Sitting in a used seat in the middle of Hollywood Productions
I realize the meaning of love has been destroyed by actors.
