Anonymous - NOLA Myths

They say that all of them walk the streets.
With a soul in their hearts,
Feeling the jazz music from their head to their feet.
So much mystery lies in the heart of this city,
But what of all the rumors?
Those who view our city, and think of pity.
It is a shame that our city is viewed as dirty,
Another that is looked at as a city of crime.
But through our heart and soul, we will always shine.
Who dat.
