    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.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
