Unwillingness to trade dirt roads and barbed wire for cement and traffic jams.

Trading in these big city chains

For rusty five wire fences,

Crowded streets

For one lane cow paths,

Stale industry smog

For fresh country air,

Neon street lights

For a full moon glow,

Starbucks and quick stops

For home-made coffee in a thermos,

Gossip-stricken office

For the untamed land.
