The City

I have seen buildings demolished
and building attacked and destroyed
I've seen stores that were magical
and some like nowhere else in the world
Eaten in amazing restaurants that only
a few could go. And in some that were just a hole in the wall
I have been to shows that are on records but the venues are no more
In a way, I am like that city
I left and I'm no longer who I was
All things must change, taken down
Then rebuild maybe better, maybe for a greater purpose but no one really knows
Or can tell
A history of mutations and challenging
Changes are just memories left
for each generation to dwell
