http://penastory.com/2016/01/14/onile-gogoro-skyscraper/#more-922 Throw me back to the 60s When Roy Chicago and his rhythm dandies ridiculed you You were in vogue like unclothedness is today Your reign marked the opening era for the then fashion enthusiast You were the Brazilian hair of that age A hair-do that symbolized affluence At a time my young country was just socially evolving You stood as the identification figure for the ariya nation Your mound high on the head of your carrier like a clutter of poles Standing tall like a dawn erection Each time I see you On my grandmother’s head, inside her antique collection folder I imagine how much buzz you’d garnered back then Just like your descendants are doing now Let’s hope your sequels would look as symbolic as you were then Our beloved skyscraper. http://penastory.com/2016/01/14/onile-gogoro-skyscraper/#more-922
