Manhattan, NY

It's a chilly night,

buoyed by some promises,

to visit downtown

with friends around.

It's in Manhattan, N.Y.

known as 'the city that never sleeps.'

with great mobs to meet

with varying cultures to reflect.

The elegant and tall buildings

speak volumes about the contents.

The city so rich with commerce,

trade, arts, and the finances.

With lovely windows,

with a cavalcade of stories

novelties, and other dimensions

present Manhattan's real picture.

To the 21st century eyes

New York City continues to be multicultural.

With its growing population

the glorious fusion of tolerance.

Despite the collapse of the twin tower,

known as the mighty power.

As Cicero once opined,

'the sinews of war are infinite money.'

That, I think is what American is,

with their great power in economy;

A magnet to entire people

across the globe, across cultures.
