User-Contributed Transcription ContrastsUpon these city streets, in deep escapesPoetic gleams ascend and dreams take shape.A soldier and a girl, through twining sighs, Discover budding souls within their eyes.Apart from lust, their long embracing findsUnique surprise in merging hears and minds.A winsome woman poses in the nude.The artist's stares are neither sly nor rude.Impersonal and keen, he lifts each brushAnd paints within a sheer esthetic hush.The building cracks and flames are circling wild.A man runs in and saves a neighbor's child,And afterwards, despite the burns and pains,His twisted smile breaks through them and remains.This woman, old and frail, scrubs floors for years.To guard a crippled son from lacks and fears.Ignoring Home Relief. Mistaken pride?[over]
