Marked with a star on every map
Chosen to lead in its precision.
History of thousands who flocked into the seven hills
in anticipation of freedom and life.
With motherly arms, she raised her children,
who starved from the barren fruit of oppression.
Strong as the mountains-
true and lasting.
As pliable as rivers-
accepting and adapting.
A piece of me forever,
this city holds.
Luminescence glowing from the heart-
bright and bold and flashing with life.
Supporting bones-
rustic and feral,
tranquil and genuine.
The dazzling face of youth.
The restless spirit of revolution.
