Urbanity
Concrete walls, graffiti abcess
Twenty four hour on-line access
High rise flats, open air preacher
High decibel megaphone screecher
Jesus saves, Beckham scores
Missionary work by `Open Doors'
Attitude, street-wise urchin
Don't go in for no soul searchin’
Empty squat, most appealing
Injecting junkie hits the ceiling
Late for church, clutching bibles
Stepping over undesirables
At the wharf, the low tide reveals
Another corpse covered in weals
On the phone, Samaritan listens
On the gun the sunlight glistens
Corner spot, a girl solicits
High heels and skirt that barely fits
Gloomy bar, nervous glances
A deal concludes despite the chances
Squad car waits, is cover blown?
The guilty parties are well known
At the church, they exchange the peace
As the sex shop renews its lease
Power talk extolling creed
Yet oblivious to all this need
