    city of sin
    i must flee this city
    be set free of this city
    leave this city of sin

    find the place that i know
    the place i call home
    back home with all my kin

    but the sounds and lights entice
    to risk a gamble - my vice
    here lies the devil's bargain

    allow me tonight for fun
    party until i see the sun
    and i never will again

    feel the rush and lust of night
    then remember wrong from right
    just give me what i'm askin

    just one more night to live
    risk all i have to give
    then punish me my sins

    This a hauntingly perceptive confession. St Augustine once payed, "God grant me chastity and continence (self-control) but not yet." Ecellent write.

    We are as much fleeing from the city as we are chasing it! Good way to portray the addictive effects the city can have.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
