there is potential for growth
but not in this city

i have roots here
i know these streets
i know these people
their roots tangle with mine

but we all dream of leaving
this pit of economic death
for a much more prosperous land
a place that is safe and quiet and green

yes, there is potential for growth
but not in this city

Acrylic on 30x40 canvas. No sketching, I just started painting with an idea. This is just a picture, it lost some of the lightness at the top thanks to my camera. It needs a good home (the painting, not the camera).
