The church spire has dominated my skyline
since the day that I was brought into this world,
and although I am not a religious man,
the sight has given me both bearings and hope.
But now this great monument must be forlorn
as the grand corporations barge their way in,
and although they still offer a vantage point,
their paths are designed to lead to temptation.
I miss the era of that blinding red cross
which seemed so distant to me as a wide-eyed child,
and although I now recognise how close it is,
it is too late for my horizons to be saved.
