memories of green
lasting presence
As i stand
on this balcony
of concrete
and look across
office blocks
unused
my eyes sombered
with flashing
memories
of
the
wavering trees
and the
buzzing bees
the flap of the
butterflies wings
that once
flew
by
chasing
across
clear
blue sky
the perfume of
the wild flowers
the trickling brook
from the springwell
did flourish
as I look
how it is
now
the
fast
growing towers
the grey blue smoke
from the cars
rushing by
vapour trails
filling the sky
buzzing sounds
from the
rows of Pylons
all around
so called progress
has built this mess
for a
society
which struggles to
breath this
now polluuted
air

So true, all that is natural, the green trees, green grass, wild flowers, being replaced with concrete, and pollution to our environment. So unhealthy for us all.
greencha,
I agree greatly and feel that the air around us is polluted
and this is due to human industrialization and other things.
Voted up and shared.
Love this and so true. So much that is natural gets replace with that which is artificial.
So many people, especially children, only know the concrete jungle and never have the joy of a truly green environment. A great reminder of what we are doing to our countries.
