An Ever Changing Landscape
Someone planted a seed for the tree to slowly grow
So we breathe, fresh air
Grow fruit
To use as a natural shelter
There was plenty of seeds
Creating a forest of trees
A carpet of many emerald green shades
Gradually turning into a gorgeous autumnal sea
The ever changing beauty
Mankind and evolution changes the landscape
Laying one solitary brick
Concrete foundations
Deeply cemented
One brick quickly turns into a row
Gradually these concrete cities grow
The amazing, breathing trees
Cutdown, stripped, chopped and torn
The beautiful trees
Now dwarfed
Living in a busy, concrete city
The tall trees
Now morphed into this expanding, big city
It is hard to see
Earth’s natural beauty
As we all see
This growing skyscraper city
The shiny emerald is encased in grey, solid concrete
Reaching for the silver moon and the yellow sun
The green emerald trees
Continue to live and breathe on
Mankind and evolution continues to be
A carpet of many shades of emerald green
Turning into a gorgeous autumnal sea
It all started from one planted seed
Nature and concrete
Emerald trees living in the centre of a skyscraper city
Trees and skyscrapers morphed
It is difficult to see
The difference between
The trees and concrete forest
Mankind and evolution
The landscape is blurred
There are now, no defining lines
Mankind has changed the landscape
At this moment in time
An ever changing landscape
Is in our eye line
Nature and mankind
On occasion, is difficult to define
