Pity the city
where your names
just a brand
too bland to compete
with mass market hysteria.
History wiped out
in one fell swoop
at the behest of a man
with no time for the past
blinded by the here
and the now
the greed and the need
for global expansion
in this frivolous age
the pages of time
wiped from the memory.
1904, no more
this the new dawn
traditions forlorn
a world of brands
where style beats substance
defeat to the purists
who in vain
believe in a name.
