Languid half-lidded

Eyes slide right

Past you

Posting bills of

Style and colour

Bright with vigour on

Dull and fragile walls of

Grey concrete

Crumbling walls

Can’t compete

With the colours

And style of

Of progress

Speeding past.

...

Walls as

Fragile as

A man clinging to

Power, walls crumbling

Down

With style and

Colour.
