Question

Pipe organs—dusty and tarnished—

Bellowed the ancient song,
As movers carried the pews
For one last time.

Frozen branches—heavy with ice arms—
Couldn’t perform their dance,
As workmen shuffled inside
The worn-out floors.

Sally Richards—broken and mourning—
Watched while her father left,
As painters brought in their cans
For the first time.

Stained-glass windows—buckled and broken—
Surveyed commotion’s cause
As commerce won in the end
Yet one more time.

Reverend Richards—feeble and finished—
Cried as his exit was lost
On Christians who worshiped the dime;
A change of the times.

The visuals should represent what you are talking about, so for this phrase, you should use a photo or print showing a commercial area.

So the best visual resource for the "As commerce won in the end" line would be a set of photos showing the numerous businesses and stores in Wichita.
