A City Life Or The Country Side?

I love the lights at night
That brightens the street
Where lovers enjoy a leisurely walk
Like there’s nobody else

I love the malls
Because there are so many stalls
Where displays big and small
Entice the shoppers to spend more and more

But I also love the ricefields in the country

Where I can wake up to the sound of the birds singing
Smell and breathe the fresh air
Instead of vehicles’ honking horns

I like to plant flowers
And watch the trees grow
Bear fruits to pick up as they ripen
And enjoy the setting sun

The lively city where silence is elusive?
Or the countryside’s fresh life?
Which one will it be?
For someone like me.
