Waving Goodbye

(with apologies to Hal David & Burt Bacharach)



Trains and boats and planes
and cars and buses
and bikes and bodies
and buildings and bridges
and roads and railways
and fields and fences
and dreams and livelihoods…
swept away under the rising sun
like unwanted toys
in its wake.

  1. No apology to HD & BB needed, I think this is very sensitively written and easily understood.
