THE UNFIXABLE ISSUE OF DARWIN’S CBD

Likely the vision will not last,

We fail to learn from what has passed,

Visions and plans are all we do,

Beyond that, it all falls through,

Plan has followed plan you see,

For the Darwin CBD,

What then follows is sad pain,

Planning money down the drain.

The reality creates sad pall,

There seems no hope for Darwin’s mall.

We must confront the reality,

The vision will not transform you see,

Until real issues are addressed,

Time and time again they’re stresed,

But to fix – no one is game,

And that is just a bleeding shame.
