The sun shines its golden light and heat
down on a polluted sad landscape.
Why humans seem unable to see
this world is dying all around their feet.
Trees by natures winds bending their shape
blowing around the earth uninhibited free.
Nature reserves and precious countryside
disappears as more and more buildings appear.
Roads manifest scaring more areas that remain
the urban crawl moves on less places to hide
As boundary lines are becoming unclear.
noise and traffic fumes gain pace how insane.
Towns within towns villages absorbed as well
no mercy for natural green open spaces.
Countryside and animals blend into the sprawl
scavenging from the humans disposable hell
Covertly hardly ever leaving any trace
adapting and caught up in our almighty fall.
I can remember fifty years ago. More green fields less road traffic and fewer people. No home computers or mobile phones. Villages where villages and town were towns and nice roads in between.
The Foureyed Poet.
