Unabridged Version




Unabridged Version


The crowd gathers by the river bank
For today’s big televised event        

Copters buzz round the scene 
To witness the descent  

They’re blowing up the bridge today
That span no longer in demand

A relic from simpler times
When people wanted to be together

  1. That's sadly beautiful, sad being what's happening, beautiful being the short piece.
    It kinda reminds me of this whole internet and smartphones thing where people have a ton of connections and friends but only communicate by typing on a keyboard.
    Excellent piece Steve. Keep it up :)

  2. Thanks Nada...You absolutely nailed that sense of tech isolation what I was looking to convey here
