This is the center of our city
The financial hub
Where things are ruled and pretty shops roam
I am visiting with my family
for pleasure
I think we are seeing the light,
or saw the light
That is glittering
But I don't recognize the store signs
Nor the shoppers
Or the prices
Or the smiles
If the pinnacle of civilization is shopping
I'd rather not give
Especially if my own city rejects me
and I will lock myself up to learn another language
So I can communicate with people in my own home.
