God gave the beauty
Man built on it
Six days they work
On the seventh they sail
Spinnakers, jibs and toys
Tacking around ferries and buoys
Skyscrapers and harbour swell
Reflect in each other’s might
Sydney, Australia
Mile after dreary mile
No sign of beauty or God
Few toys here
Not much money around
No skyscraper, no harbour
No sails, no boats
No work for a day, let alone a week
Reflections only of poverty
Shantou, China
