once upon a time in the wilderness
often an engineer was also a pioneer
snap bang time flash gone is wilderness
city you live in might have been wilderness
snap bang flash back just a few hundred years
a few hundred years ago town city was wilderness
ancient towns cities now ruins once were not wilderness
time circles landscapes climates change out of into wilderness
an engineer a pioneer
some engineers were both
an engineer's life is probably easier
now than it used to be with growth
no need to roast to freeze with better technology
with easier access to work sites accessibility
World in change by the skilled hands of engineers Nature in change but the skilled spinning of time world is world naturally beautiful where the engineers come to beautify more once the woods, forests, natural convention were the cities now all these become concretes and cities of stone Whatever History is the page of remembrance where the engineer was the designer of the universe
Thanks. Yes. Everything is structured now. I made a mistake choosing engineering though. I am more into poetry politics and philosophy. Any way it was fun when it lasted.

I choose printing, an apprenticeship for 4 years, then passed Trade Certificate, then moved on. Later other jobs, other countries, were more freedom of choice. The past is littered with experiences, the future uncharted territory.
At least you got a choice Deluke, my parents gave me 3 days to find a job, I found a job as a saw doctor working in a bush sawmill, printing, or working in a local saw mill cutting up trees on the industrial blades. The local saw mill would not take me, they said I was too young. It was interesting years later, having a beer with an old friend with several missing fingers, who did work in a saw mill. Blades can be hypnotic.

I would like to translate this poem
This rendering in the second stanza was the starting point, if you spent a few years watching engineers, welders, machinists trying to fix heavy duty broken machinery. To make fit new parts. To nut out problems on the spot, with time constraints in confined work spaces. The need to convey complexity, to pay tribute to old friends, means time spent trying to get it right.
