Poetic Development: Carpe Diem

Carpe Diem

Carpe diem
Save the day
Let's get BUILDING
All the way
Carpe diem
Lonely night
Filled with back hoes
Warm and bright
Carpe diem
Free the past
All the yesteryears
Are excavated at last
Light the candles
Pour the wine
Building unregulated
Is divine
Carpe diem
Save the day
Get your brownstones
Out of my way
Carpe diem
Be my lover
I'll never need
Any other.
