Buildings are important


People are born in them
Grow up in them
Fall in love in them
Get married in them
Raise kids in them
Grow old in them
Die in them

Buildings are important.

People decide big things here
Decide on small things too
Draw conclusions inside
Make plans
Change plans
Change our minds
Make up our minds
Take a stand
Buckle under the pressure in there
Draw the line
Plot a new course
All Inside

Buildings are important

People change inside
Grow tired of it again and again
Speak loudly with closed fists and eyes
Take time
Waste time
Talk softly under covers
Touch hands
Look into eyes
All inside
Contained
Inside

Buildings are important

People conspire inside
People take oaths inside
People take lives inside
People make choices inside
People regret inside
People rejoice inside
People are persuaded inside
People become resolute inside
People hold fast inside
And then go outside

Buildings are important
