won't we?

we shall break

the gloomy greys

of concrete

and bricks

and mortar

we shall tear away the

dark curtains

so that

lying on our

terraces

on a soothing summer night

we can gaze at the stars

what you have

undone

we shall redo

and build again

better

than before

we shall give

the beach back its

shore

and the butterflies

their flowers

and the exotic

hornbill shall

be payed its dues

and the polar bear

shall be taken back

to their homes and out

of the circus zoos

we shall

pull the plugs off

these misleading

marquees and

big city lights

and replace them

with those

silently tinkering bells of nature

those fireflies

we shall

claim

the scent of the earth

and the quenching rain

and our blue skies

we shall break out of these

stifling cocoons

decorating these

morbid backgrounds

we shall defy this

manmade gravity

we shall be free

won't we?
