My City
By DanaJae SILVER
Highland Park, Illinois

If I cannot leave this body I will walk beyond this slate-city Until my feet are worn and brown And the mottled earth will be numb beneath me And the city behind me will rise...

Favorite Quote:
But we were born of risen apes, not fallen angels, and the apes were armed killers besides. And so what shall we wonder at? Our murders and massacres and missiles, and our irreconcilable regiments? Or our treaties whatever they may be worth; our symphonies however seldom they may be played; our peaceful acres, however frequently they may be converted into battlefields; our dreams however rarely they may be accomplished. The miracle of man is not how far he has sunk but how magnificently he has risen. We are known among the stars by our poems, not our corpses.
