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?
