Analysis of Urban Jungle Symphony
Oscar Auliq-Ice 1994 (Port Elizabeth)
Concrete towers pierce the sky,
Streets buzzing, alive with city lights,
A symphony of horns and distant sirens,
Yet beauty in the chaos surrounds,
The street artist claims this space as home,
He paints with colors bright and bold,
Pedestrians become his canvas,
With stories waiting to be told,
Neon signs glow with modernity,
Their lights a beacon of progress,
Miles and miles of asphalt lanes,
Beneath the urban sky,
Subway cars rumble below,
Transporting their human load,
The city streets victorious,
Crafted by human hands,
And countless souls before us,
Have walked this ground so grand,
The city holds its unique beauty,
In this our complex land.
