Building for the Future
A venerable
institution for sure,
Built on
firm foundations, innovative
In its day,
being a brand new way to live;
But, how
much longer can it endure?
Those once
firm foundations are subsiding,
The façade begins
cracking and crumbling,
Its tenants
and residents are grumbling.
Urgent maintenance
takes some deciding,
With
responsible parties contending:
A paint job
might cover over the cracks,
Is repointing
what this old building lacks?
Fresh render
maybe? One not yet trending,
Demolition!
That truth it’s time to face,
Then raise a
whole new structure in its place.
