Hello everyone!, My name is Kristina and I am a Nursing student currently attending Molloy College. I have created this wonderful site for you to enjoy. It is a website dedicated to my experiences inside the big apple. Please join me on my journey!
Big Apple a poem by Robert Neal
She is called...the Big Apple, although I do not know why.
Perhaps she seems bright and wholesome to a first time visitor's eye.
-Some say she is perfect...an opinion understandable, but wrong.
For she is far more complex than the lyrics of a Billy Joel song.
-Every day in this city people lie, cheat and steal.
They also tell the truth follow rules and try to heal.
-She is a city of attitudes and emotions that run high
from the house that Ruth built to buildings that scrape the sky ... ... or used to ...
-In this immense place forever scarred by terror
let us not look away for this would be an error.
-Let the scars serve as a reminder of how ugly human actions can be
and let them serve as a testament to the beauty of trying to live free.
-She is called...the Big Apple...although I do not know why.
Perhaps she seems a shining hope in the gaze of Lady Liberty's eye.
