Neo-Goth over the East River
Showcasing another great New York City member
Gaze upon the world, the connection is there
Triumph over the water our fair marvels
Architectural divinity pure at heart
Influential at best, our works of art
Once declared “Seventh Wonder of the Modern World”
A massive artery for the strenuous commute
Overlooks the safe passage for all our friends
The truest of its form, it pays dividends
A tourist attraction for so many far and wide
Its brick towers welcomes you through with ease
Offering a view in so many ways to impress
Hailed as the best from the freedom of the press
Such fanfare be bestowed upon its creator
Who closed his eyes before its’ unveiling
A posthumous reward for the German man
Helped transform the spirit into an American plan
So much love and care you must give
It’s no easy task we must admit
Its fate and destiny rests in our hands
There’s no end to the list, it always expands
A landmark for the world to see
Seen by people on countless ships
Now fixed in their memory forever more
They have yet to see what’s really in store
Its claim to fame is where it stands
The prized location was part of the plan
We always see it no matter what we do
It’s a fact we can all proudly attest to.
About the Creator

I think expressing yourself in fundamental and categorical topics help create a more transparent, concise, and educational environment. For me, I like to explain key issues that dominate current events in society and encourage dialogue.
