Go by the Highway

gerrylegister

Highway to breathe happily healthy

Bring back space, misplace the chaperones

Conversations of ill virtues, unhappy unhealthy

Busy streets pack with many unknown voices.

 

Beauty cannot be seen there is too much pollution,

Smog in the cities poison the way and choke the sky,

Endless plumes, smell of fumes long for a dream,

The sight makes us cry with running nose and red eye.

 

Birds that use to dart through rainbow colors

Fled from the ugly foul fountain to pristine shores

Leave undesirable noises to wild haven harbors,

Free from household dumping and littering practices.

 

Find highway leaves, fresh smell of heather in the air,

It's nature’s story, exuberating in myriads of glory,

Sad fate to befall our flavored atmosphere

Wise online philosophers are technology wordy.

 

Go by the highway, it’s a kindly way on foot,

Follow the mist in the morning to serene farming,

See unfurled trees, floating breeze, into aerial route

Meandering pastures with dairy livestock holding.

 

Over the fences creeps flowery boughs on edge,

Lightening the paths with colorful jettison smiles, 

Reminiscing the past, lost in merchandise leverage

A blast of mildew made the highway a little outcast.

 

Shifty ground shares fade like the highway flame,

The Financial crash that rendered society speechless,

Concrete barriers stands in the emergency lane,

To solve the problems occurred on the express.
