CITY LIGHTHOUSE
She doesn't mind the smoke
She doesn't mind the smog
She doesn't mind the wind and the rain
She stands tall
And when tired leans slightly
So only an architect will see
Though now the dump is nearby
Once upon a time there were kapok
Where douens danced
Among Amerindian fests
Her eyes focus on the hills today
From whence steelpan came
For the seas are calm now-a-days

A lighthouse in stormy weather or calm that stands tall and majestic: a survivor, Gillena.

Here in Michigan we have our fair share of lighthouses. I like referring to one as "she". And, sadly, lots of dumps everywhere.
