We’ve made our escape…..have you? <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n
 <\/h6>\n
\"053a\"<\/h6>\n

Away from the noise,
Away from the grime,
Away from the traffic,
That steals our time.<\/p>\n

Away from drab buildings,
Uninteresting places,
Away from the graffiti
That so often defaces.<\/p>\n

Away from the signs,
The enforced restrictions,
Away from the malls
And those shopping addictions,<\/p>\n

Away from the crowds,
The commuting lifestyle,
Away from grey faces
That never smile,<\/p>\n

Away from the cameras
That keep a record of us,
Away from the commotion,
Away from the fuss.<\/p>\n

An escape to the country,
An escape to more space,
An escape to a life
At a much gentler pace.<\/p>\n

With fresh air to breathe
And bird song to hear;
And people with time,
Life drops down a gear. <\/p>\n\n\n
