Cars or Stars

Thekkinkkattil

The sky is full of stars

I rarely see them now

As the air is full of dust

Which blurs the vision up

 

Diamonds in the sky

Seem a vision of the past

To buy the cars we ride

The jewels we had to part

The junk we fill around

Will deplete us of the gold

 

Cars have made our lives

Much easier than the old

Trading is what we do

To live a life of ease

Regrets we should not hold

Its trade off for our goals.

    Good write T.

  • Bella Shepard

    You've given us something to seriously contemplate. Progress often robs us of the beautiful and natural, but we benefit from the trade off with our conveniences. What a dilemma. I love the way you've phrased this whole conundrum, a really good write.

    • Thekkinkkattil

      Thank You Bella. Sometimes it's a dilemma between progress and conservation and it's hard to choose between the two

    • Rozina

      True, the price of progress. Very good lines.

      • Thekkinkkattil

        Thank you Rozino that's our dilemma may be the next generation will not be so bothered because they start from you.What you do not know you don't miss

        Andy we cannot stand against but to see the deterioration is a real heartburn

        Smoggy skies have become the norm in most of our cities throughout the world.To see the clear sky you have to visit remote places.
