METROPOLIS

She never sleeps
she cannot sleep
at the most a nap
a cat-nap.
Neither due to
the glowing red-eyed monsters
roaring past to and fro
nor due to the space-ships
with glowing red and yellow
lights, flashing lights
booming up above round-the-clock,
nor the hustle and bustle.
All signals of her strength
her stamina,
her energy,
her care,
her vigil,
her concern,
always her children....
her vibrant, energetic,
mischievous children,
hold them in her protective hands
by not allowing the enemies
to harm them
hence,
she never sleeps,
she cannot
sleep
but cheerful throughout
her motherly touch
that much intense, immense.
