Motor ways and Dual CarriagecWays
all once where wildness ruled
where Deer and Fox and Badger
used Nature and were schooled
as to the ways of living
with wonder bold and clear
Then portent transformations
brought their modicum of fear.
A miraculous foundation
where the meakest and the mild
frequented so incredibly
the wooded homely wild
and then men rumbled into town
bulldozers tore the earth
A great stony indifference
And our world, then gave birth
to a trade off
to the evil
our pathways ripped and gone
Diablo the new leader
had now laid out upon
what had been our homelands
With concrete everywhere
the wild realm gone forever
and just miles of dark despair
homely pursuits were long gone
at every turn we found
victims crushed and bleeding
knocked down all around
so many Deers in tumult
Lying in a heap
tortured and forgotten
in a perpetual sleep.
the great arterial surgery
it was everywhere
wooden vales were ruined
it did surely scare
our valid dispositions
our modality our way
our frame of mind
and lifeblood gone
All this I have to say
our identities our sameness
our convertibility
Lost and gone forever
in what has become hostility.
