Mechabay
Po Leung Kuk Vicwood K.T. Chong Sixth Form College, Gurung, Reuben - 16
Along the Walls
Fields of sliver giants toppling
over the coastline
Not a whisper of salt
Streets full of platinums
We roam the streets of our city
To serve our one city,
MechaBay.
Painted with mental and strings,
Shackled by ones and zeroes,
Entrenched with plastic intelligence,
Coded to pull and plough and break and haul
We live to serve and please and sing the ode
Four and twenty hours, a day.
The sunshine glimpses at our watches
