No Idea what Inspired This...
~~~The City~~~
I saw the city from afar,
Burning from within; a self-important star.
The glowing lights dazzled my eyes,
Filling my head with decorative lies.
It was a dream I chased to no avail;
All along they knew I'd fail -
Because the City of Lights only enchants,
But never administers entrance
To a world of gold and glory,
It's just another fictional story.
Behind the glitz and glamour,
And the lips that stammer,
Is a city of a thousand corpses and graves;
Their blood and sweat paves
The road for the rich and wealthy;
Here indifference is healthy.Fatally Yours,
Dead End Poet

Oooh, I like this poem a lot! I can see a city like New York or Hollywood or Las Vegas fitting very well here.
RYC: Well, I had been very into vampires at the time. Underworld or Underworld: Evo had come out, I was trying to muddle through Dracula, and I read other newer books with vampires, and my ex was very into vampires, too. ^^;; So I took what I read about the typical "romantic" vampires and wrote the poem.
