ENGLAND TOMORROW
ENGLAND TOMORROW
Original Work by D. CUTTING, M.6A
When you see the steel giants
Marching over pleasant green,
And long grey fingers stealing out
To grip each grimy blotch of dwellers;
When you see the buzzing metal bees
Racing till the crunch distorts their once noble frames,
And you see proud shining symbols,
Contorted, rusty, deserted and left
To lie, a constant reminder of our follies;
And when you see the hives of people
Chasing to their cities, surviving
Stripped of beauty in a wilderness
Of forgotten culture: - Then, my disbelieving friend,
You will be looking at an English countryside:
Tomorrow will be yesterday, and one more heritage
Will have been discarded.
