The Ballard of Fi and Bek
In the heart of the city where shadows are cast,
Fi and Bek, in the thick of it, fast.
With hands toughened by labor and eyes on the prize,
They conquer the dust and the grit that arise.
They roll up their sleeves with a grin and a shout,
In the clamor of hammers and drills all about.
From dawn till the twilight, their energy shows,
Building up dreams where the old structure goes.
With grit in their veins and ambition in tow,
They turn weary ruins to new places to grow.
Their sweat mixes with paint on the walls they reshape,
Creating new spaces where stories escape.
In the land down under, where the buildings grow tall,
Fi and Bek answer the call.
They turn rubble to beauty with skill and with grace,
Two Aussie girls making the world a more vibrant place.
