Coalescence

It’s the combination of the jungle that we pave over

And the swamp jungle where our ancestors became soldiers

Struggling to establish a civilization

But when we built it we took away from nature

Like the quilt of the Earth, we tore it

We lost it and became a stranger

But it’s stranger still that we will

Rebuild what’s gone when we can no longer

Stand the sight of giant steel monsters

Bearing their teeth so we took a creation and fostered

A relationship of the past with the present

It was fast when we sent it

And this park built joins those worlds with a vengeance

An old path is where it was created

Underground scheming and calculating, like math, not to have it slated

Debated, whether or not to connect with what we lost

But we never had it, no message inscribed that was faded

And this park is raised like the hopes we have in a vision

To give beauty to this city, and the gray streets that are now hated

With great precision, landscaped with the rail line, as a collision

The two worlds can combine, but what we had hoped for really isn’t

It’s a joke cuz we have failed in our mission

Pretty, from the gritty and gives us peace and serenity

But it’s not natural, not crafted by divinity

Nonetheless, between man and God there was synergy

An energy, something we can grasp and work off of

To revive from the last, one last gasp, at what we all lost
