Greetings from the UK.

And.

Welcome To Sunday.

You will spoil this place, it cannot be allowed.
Environmentalists scream, and protest so loud.
Supports 20 families, your plans we must foil.
As the subsistence farmers, on the land do toil.

Construction commenced, and with it the noise.
Bringing maximum destruction, a sadness no joys.
Bulldozers, Trucks, and earth movers so loud.
Surely this chaos, should not be allowed.

This barrier built, of concrete and steel.
A valley flooded, and most do feel.
That this rural environment, has had a raw deal.
This dam unmoved, there is no further appeal.

As the water rises, and forms a new lake.
Arrives the water fowl, for a home it will make.
Fish eggs borne, on the Osprey's claws.
Populate this place, where fishermen pause.

A lakeside restaurant, caters for your needs.
Providing employment, as the visitor it feeds.
Leisure craft sail, on the surface so smooth.
As the tourist arrives, to savour this mood.

High water now reaching for it's full head.
Energy waiting, to simply be bled.
A slight hum is heard, as the turbines do spin.
To have wasted this resource, would have been a sin.

Now this place provides, employment for many.
As the tourist arrives, and with it his penny.
A thriving community, a commercial success.
This valley's beautiful, no longer a mess.

There is only one way to say

"I Love You"..

But there are thousands of ways to demonstrate.
