[hometext] => A poem about building a city.
[bodytext] => Like a sculpture from a block of clay, We make a city what it is. From iron and stone, and wood and hay, From steel and copper, and tar and concrete, We build towers where there was only space. Like a god raising mountains from land, We make a city what it is. On mountains and plains, By forests and rivers, We erect monuments where there was once only mud. From people too, We make a city what it is. Coming together, Forming common bonds, They build houses where there were only trees. Like travelers settling over barren land, We make a city what it is. But they, they make it home.
