Scratchmarks in the chalk

A scar, a blemish
undetected
Sacred places now
neglected
Hiding secrets
unsuspected
Just scratchmarks in the chalk

Hopes, beliefs now long
rejected
Dedications
unrespected
Sacred landscapes
unprotected
Just scratchmarks in the chalk

Modern farming
unaffected
Earth and human
disconnected
Inherited yet not
protected
Just scratchmarks in the chalk

This has been around since Thornborough and Tara made the headlines, though not directly about either. A bit Crass-esque for you lovers of protest punk ;)

And no, I didn't use a rhyming dictionary.
