Design wobbles longing for imagination Theme parks surface stereotyped by madmen Postmodern landscapes gazelle in distress Trends ignore lost city narratives Free and wild longs to play Where dieing lions by the Sinai Peninsula pray Struggling in roles that history seeks Meeting transformations in jungle’s mystique Hot and Steamy nature’s wilderness Habitual images consume towering volcanics Murky fat traditions colonize wide-range economics To something which was already working Space and structure drinking Zimbabwe feelings Walking a tightrope of façade Beadworks loose their Tanzanian God History has cast strangers in a row Visual contact attacked by white rhinos When doth failure meet the knight? Who has seen ground’s long walk to light Confidence would have history’s face Be as it was before change penetrates Elephants give up their ivory tusks Poachers roll their dice after dark Refugees crash the soil’s terrain Nigerian ethnics host murder’s campaign When will we leave things as they were? So much can be said for what translates humane Environment wears peeling blue shoes Collecting signatures from native Zulus  |
