John Betjeman - The Planster`s VisionJohn Betjeman - The Planster`s Vision
Work rating: Medium


Cut down that timber! Bells, too many and strong, Pouring their music through the branches bare, From moon-white church-towers down the windy air Have pealed the centuries out with Evensong. Remove those cottages, a huddled throng! Too many babies have been born in there, Too many coffins, bumping down the stair, Carried the old their garden paths along. I have a Vision of The Future, chum, The worker`s flats in fields of soya beans Tower up like silver pencils, score on score: And Surging Millions hear the Challenge come From microphones in communal canteens "No Right! No wrong! All`s perfect, evermore."
