Start with a port and access to water
Build upon groups that make things for profit
Trade these with those who want to live there
Quote benign climate and easy lifestyles
Every city is Golden when it comes to promotion
Cycles and seasons see cyclic decay
Ghost towns on prairies when the train did not come through
Cabals of self -serving political crews
Climate may change to ozone alerts
Ports may clog up with regulations
There must be something more than service
economies to attract new investments
Power is coal,oil,water,sunshine
Power is control of Corporations
Power alone will not get things done
unless translated to community expectations
Here is where Rome fell,and Troy,and London
All great cities are niche marks in time
Cities survive when they serve their citizens
Assuming continuance is the only thought crime
We will always gather together in cities
as they fall,we move on to new markets more pristine.
