City-planning aspects of transformation

We'll express our views by verses,
By the academic thoughts.
We're progress fans. We're moving
Our ideas to the Universe.

Drawing objects in our minds,
Doing that by AutoCAD
Thinking of a garden - city,
Don't believe that we're mad.

Cutting roads, making IZs green
Palaces need drawings,
Investments need the reasons for
The place which can't be boring.

We do not like people changing
Forests into empty wild.
People who can see no reasons,
Justifying themselves meanwhile.

How the germs dry out the victims
Drinking blood from our land,
Leaving craters, freezing nature.
That is what we really can't stand.

On the Earth all things are nearby,
To conceal mistakes is hard.
People sink to such the lows
That it's awful they don't regard.

We've been looking for the mission
To find out all these things -
New sense, understanding, reason
Of all landfills and dump sites kings.
   
We'll turn all man-made reliefs 
Into safe attractive parks
For the person who there lives
Even if his life is dark.

We do not mean modern package
Which is pleasant and so nice.
We will form the germ  so quickly
Without a trick, a catch or wiles.

Fair and square where all the structures
Are bionic and dynamic,
So that wastes could work there safely
And were useful and organic.

So that trees and power stations
Could grow everywhere widely.
Let them be like vegetations
Which are safe and free and lovely.

We could see the geoplastics
Used in every large construction.
Noble silhouettes of buildings
Are the results of our actions.

Wind force, light, and the abundance
Of resources that are not adverse.
That's the sign of education -
Common vector of any discourse.

Engineers or designers
Whose small projects are somewhere.
They just feed their own ego,
They are useless here and there.

People who defend decisions,
And can facet the ideas -
They are real gems and treasures.
And for them are our cheers.

We're drawing all the objects
In the heads or by AutoCAD -
The utopian idea of garden-cities project:
Is to make them yellow, green or red.

Cutting ribbons, making speeches
Those are not the tasks we need.
Only flowers that can blossom
On the former black landfills.

Decorating a space body
Of gigantic dear Earth
Is our mission on the planet,
Everywhere in the Universe.
