THIRD LEG/THIRD MAN/THIRD RAIL

Electric controversy-to expand or diminish?
Luddites wish to return to pre-tech simplicities
History is made,not watched-the Channel is open
and Heathrow will either expand(or not!
There is a world shortage of ideas(and capital
So BORIS ISLAND remains a fantasy
unless and until some private consortium
buys the real estate with eminent domain
for a private jet sanctuary/a separation of Herculean tasks
Gatwick wishes to grow(like the population
which is already in austerity and Greek shock
To fly in 2012 is barely possible and disrupted often
To land in England will soon be a privilege
for the rich with private jets,and government functionaries
We live in a closed system earth.All the carbon credits accumulated
will not bring back clean air.And we cannot go back to horse and buggy
It may take a Napoleon London Mayor or a Coalition of the Willing
to clear congested airspace for dialogue and conversation
No one knows where that will fly to
or where it may land.
