HOMELESS HERITAGE - Dominique Besse Thomas

Sticky swamp, subtle sounds of swamp.
Wise ole cypress knees staring at me.
The Swamp Gardens will no longer be .

Our history is homeless.
Can we let it be?

Animals run aray
Children scamper off
Can Tarzan save the day?

Our history is homeless.

Past is present
Present is future
Future is past.
How can we make this last?

Homeless.
Heritage.
History.
How.

Our history is homeless.
