The Pinnacle Structure

Catapulting into open sky

with cityscape views and downward scopes

a pinnacle rises above rooftop dwellers

neath daunting skies and fearful breeze

The Empire edifice that symbols state

of boastful rise and superior heights

the historic banner of fearless men

assembling steel and stainless cage

Whose appendage peak became refuge

for beringei graueri who captured screaming blonde

and yielded life to leaded onslaught

by direful winged machines

Where crowded lifting stations with curious guests

elevate patrons to viewing floors

onlooking lesser skyscrapers

through protected and guarded rails

With eyeglass viewers for visiting eyes

to see rivers, roofs and buildings down below

and casting gaze upon tiny autos

giving spectrum of scale to those things once large

Which marks cityscape of city national

where wall street resides and broadway pierces

town square illuminates overcast skies

and talent worldwide never lacks

Where apple falls beneath thee and marks new year

while ticker tapes fills the thanks parade

where allegiant travelers line streets in cold

and thy lighted top becomes beacon of holiday passions

Thou avenue fifth structure with economic draw

that brings vacationers and mortals with inquisitive minds

to expand thoughts and broaden ideas

which inspires invention and stimulates purpose

Oh thou pinnacle that represents man's ability

inspired by maker and given skills

and compiled complete a monument high

that all may find and fuel inner flame
