Civilization's Choice


poem by:   Nigel Corbett
(Inspired by Dor's painting entitled "Civilization's Choice")




It's civilization's choice

So sing and rejoice 

Embrace modernity 

The age of certainty 

A red neon sign

Hangs from a line

Signifying the end

Of a bygone trend

Sweep away the past

The future comes fast

In an exhibition

Reflecting a new tradition

You can see on display

Objects to herald the new way

A symbol of a time

  That is truly sublime

                                           Nigel Corbett
