The move away from gardens
\nStrips of tarmac we
\nSee the plastic grass rolled out
\nIt\u2019s how it has to be
\nThe car needs space
\nFor off road parking
\nAs for grass and trees
\nHouses now are maintenance free
\nShingle if you please<\/p>\n
Growing plants oh goodness
\nWildlife not any more
\nButterflies and bird song
\nIt gets into my craw
\nWe need the concrete bricks and
\nRolls of wild flowers possibly
\nWe can always put some flower pot
\nAround
\nAnd let them be<\/p>\n
Our garden as for hedgehogs and insects by the score
\nAttracting birds
\nI am lost for words
\nWhy there is a war
\nAgainst the frontage gardens
\nTo me it is a sin
\nSo many new builds
\nAwfully plain
\nIt gets under my skin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
