New Mexico: 2020
25 years from now, more
Motels, hotels, Holiday Inn,
More people, less natives,
The air will be thin.
Congestion, destruction
More buildings by far.
Tourists have forced us
To forget who we are.
More traffic and chaos,
Santa Fe will cost.
There’s confusion all around,
Holy faith has been lost.
