Development

johnofessex

Concrete slabs Paving stones

Covering up natures bones

Where the grass grew Tarmac lays

The roads go on for days and days

A lonely tree where a forest stood

cleared to make way for a neighbourhood

Shopping Malls instead of countryside

The urban sprawl spreads nationwide
