Where once I landed
spirited from a silvery shining bird
I roamed your streets
Now clouded in orange dusts
this pearl of philosophers
cradle of democracy no more
From the top of the roof
I looked upon the Parthenon
and squared Syntagma
An iced coffee on the table
served with courtesy
and flair but well overpriced
History a tourist attraction
to the mainstream of trending void
without a love for science
Athena daughter of wisdom and art
how I loved to wander
your ways your plaka your heart ..
