Love Poem: Manchester ::new audio::

Manchester ::new audio::

Towers and showers
You fall then you rise
Making love to the clouds
It's mundane you despise 

Let's cut to the chase
Keep our words short today
I'm proud of this city
Perhaps 'nice one' you'd say 

I think you are awesome
In the day or the night
As the faces peer up
Or peek out to the sight

Of industrious city
Laced with tramways and cars
With it's heroes and humour
Or it's battle strewn scars 

On the surface you're hard
Always up for a fight
Dig deeper.. discover
A heartbeat, you might 

Whether homeless or minted
Perhaps just passing through
Our Mancunian spirit
Is now running through you.
