As I look at old fortifications <br />that are dotted around my country, <br />I often wonder about the craftsmen <br />who worked so hard to build them <br />without the aid of our modern technology. <br />How skilled they were with their hands <br />when you look at the beauty <br />of their ornate decorations <br />that make those old building stand out. <br />You sit and ponder now <br />where have all their skills gone. <br /> <br />13 May 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/where-have/
