# The City

In the City of Anger  

I’ll build a City of Love,  

I’ll never surrender  

And I’ll build my enclave.

Among all that despair,  

Among hatred and fear  

I’ll do all repairs,  

And I’ll plant a new tree.

I’ll nourish respect,  

I’ll escape all anxiety  

And with my core intact  

I’ll build new reality.

I’ll grow people of peace  

From the seeds of love,  

And I’ll ban all injustice  

From this godly ashram.

And that City of Anger  

is, of course, being me,  

And that City of Love  

is the one I want to be.
