Landscape of Mockery
by Emma Mary Gascoyne

What do you call this?
Pseudo modern mockery?
Is this attractive
In a plastic society?
Why do you do it
And demolish true art?
What is this eyesore
You try to convince
A home for the aged
A home for the young
A place to get well in
Or just to die in?
Why did you do it
And build this landscape of Mockery
