DESIGN FOR LIFE

 

When you look out

Across the cityscape

The first impression is one of planning

With order and method

A systematic landscape

Above a thriving community

Running as a well oiled machine

Every element doing its part

A symbiotic relationship

Every person a cog in the machine

A perpetual entity

Evolving and changing

Redesigning itself

Outside the conurbation

As if in stark contrast

The country side and nature

Appear chaotic and haphazard

Without order or method

Simple and ordinary

Lacking the sophistication of civilization

But in reality the urbanites live in chaos

Dysfunctional and self-destructive

While in nature there is structure and order

And the closer you observe it

The more of its complexities

And intricate structures are revealed

Everything precision engineered

With order and purpose

Every organism contains nature’s code

The building blocks of our world

And of our universe

True sophistication exists at every level

Complex and extraordinary

So let man builds his cities

While God builds everything else
