Briss Bristol

On an island in the west country,.. In the Queen's land, where Black-beard,.. Once played on, as a young child.. And called his home, among the contours... Chained men and tobaccos.. Once brought fortune lust.. Bridges were built, and train tracks laid.. By the man Brunel, who wore as long a hat.. Ships and cathedrals, sugar factories.. Bansky's graffiti, treasured marks on walls.. And stone-henge laid a stone throw away.. Roman baths, in near by Bath.. And underground passage, of tunnels.. Laid for walks and rivers paths.. Horse mountain and Welsh borders.. Sat not far away on looks, across the channel.. But for the one thing, that makes Brizz so special.. Is the sanctuary, it provides for lost souls.. This here laid land, a place like home.. Gulliver did be so proud, to call his home.. Away from home, as I do, away from home..
