Urbanization

Thepoetman1234


Notice of absence from Thepoetman1234
THE GOAT

Fresh air lingering on in streets that was once freshly cut grass

The bridge was once the barrier between civilization and the paradise that was nature

but the capitalistic views of the corporate pigs turned trees in streets

Bushes into buses

 

Now you must understand that urbanization is good

it helps many people and businesses

but is misses the birds and the trees

for what at one point will become a commodity. 

 

So I ask if it is worth it now 

to continue the growth of concrete 

for the destruction of nature 

in the hope of corporate profits

  • Comment from author about the poem: This poem reflects on my views on Urbanization, Especially where I live in Swindon. I Feel afraid of losing the land to concrete and its time to make a poem on my poetic side to talk about it.

    I see this as well but it begs the question, what is the cause. Some say greed but I say people. Too many people. An important message here

    Don't go away. I gave you a hard time on the British Empire. I'll not resile from that. Here for me you have something much more relevant to say about urbanization. You have writing skills to be used carefully.
    Look after yourself, take care.

      Thank a lot. I am genuinely appreciative about the comments and understanding. Don't worry, nothing like 'the british empire' will happen again. I will stick to my nature and family members 🙂

        You just take it easy - you have a lot to offer. Explore the big bad world out there and see what you make of it........
