Local spaces, connected places

Local spaces, connected places 

Local spaces 

Could be living and breathing spaces 

But how connected are they?

Local spaces 

Have become divided spaces 

Roads and roadblocks causing congestion

And segregation 

Local spaces

Is no longer a symbol for quiet contemplation and connection 

But modern times have given to us fast cars and a throw away culture

Local spaces 

Have become flats and individual lifestyles

I ask you, how connected are we?

Local spaces 

Can be thriving spaces once more 

Only if we open up and talk once more  

Local spaces 

Are spaces of belonging and connection

Let's reclaim this 

To make local spaces 

More connected places
