People toppling into the Cities
Cities making them
Trampled with the miseries
Of rural towns
No opportunities and basics of life

Looking at the euphoria
At the expense of the unseen
Unemployment, Homelessness
Poverty in cities

Unfamiliar environment
Urban life, a new dawn – new life
Employment but low income
Working all day to make a living to standardize
Some youths leave rural towns for cities

Wise decision?
Leaving is a decision of personal note
Planning makes it work
Making the life decision to embrace urban life
Should involve the
Good and bad life
Let the benefits outweigh the disadvantages
