He left patriotism behind
apple pie and buffalo wings
The continent gone
Just a couple of green isles
The simple life
Pride almost squashed
Arrogance drained out
a spring lamb on the plateau
exposed to all the elements
mass producing giant
tubes pulled out
wires disconnected
Now the empty green spaces
will they fill the ashphalt noise
wash away the graffiti and advertising
do you want this small town clean and green?
