"She"
by

She

Is a city formed solely by cement;
Where green is only found
In the green paint chosen
To decorate certain buildings.

Is a walk across Central Park,
On a snowy December morning.

Is hidden in the streets of India and Thailand,
Where vendors offer fried crickets in a bag,
As a tasty sight seeing treat.

Is the mystery behind South-Central L.A,
And those killed in Tiananmen Square that day.

Is Paris surrounded by Colombian urban violence.

Is much more than I could ever write in a lifetime,
Yet one word would do just fine.
