New York City

Demar Desu - 德马尔·德苏


Notice of absence from Demar Desu - 德马尔·德苏
depression has me now… I’m done writing here

Far Far Far Away,

where the rockaways reside 

up to the bronx 

 

always been grateful 

full of hustlers, bustlers, and survivors 

always thankful 

 

this place

improved slowly 

at a pace

 

corruption can’t

keep people down 

only show us how to be better 

 

still I admit 

something ugly lingering 

covering the stars at night… yuck

    Indeed, all cities and places have their distinct characters and personalities!

    • Demar Desu - 德马尔·德苏

      What’s your favorite big city?

      • arqios

        Hmmm… the all have their appeal and their downsides…. Let’s see, Tokyo for its convenience, London for its culture, Paris for its ambiance, the Big Apple for its frenetic buzz…. How about you?

        • Demar Desu - 德马尔·德苏

          Damn I’m going to Tokyo next month for the first time! I love me some convenience. I think my favorite cities are usually small ones but when it comes to the big ones I love LA for its food and NYC as well. I actually like Salt Lake City for how clean it is and well designed

          • arqios

            Yup, LA is food and so it Bangkok! Never personally walked in Salt Lake City. Must go there some time!

          • Melancholic~Onion

            I sincerely like the 'Yuck' at the end

          • Tristan Robert Lange

            Ah…NYC. Fun to visit, happy to not live there.
            Anyway, wonderful poem my friend! Hope the trip went well!

            • Demar Desu - 德马尔·德苏

              It was great for sure, and yeah I’m happy to be raised there but definitely don’t want to live there. Thank you friend

              • Tristan Robert Lange

                Yeah. I have a friend who lives in Brooklyn. You are welcome, my friend!

                I thought you were skint?!

                • Demar Desu - 德马尔·德苏

                  Being broke doesn’t mean I can’t travel, thankfully I work for the airport LOL

                  • Mutley Ravishes

                    Haha! I see you got it all worked out. Enjoy Tokyo, an old stamping ground of mine.

                      I’m actually thinking Vietnam might be my best (cheapest) bet!
