A City Dwelling Paradise

The silky feel of a landscape’s embrace
Wraps its loving arms gently around me
Lifting me to a higher plane of unspoilt thought and sight
The pathway leads to hearts untouched,
An Eden within the polluted jungle
A conflict of luscious green natural warriors
Against smoke exhaling tainted metal dragons
This is where the battle line has been drawn
The smog and toxins closed in around the army of green
Conquering their historical ground
I can see my city dwelling paradise becoming another junkyard
Another oasis covered in man’s discarded efforts
I can see the contamination of tranquillity itself
The modern Gods are forever hungry and consume the Mother’s art
Taking away the few precious drops of heaven left
I can see the destruction of tranquillity itself
My city dwelling paradise is shrinking
While the rubbish tip is expanding
Soon nothing will be sacred
And we will lament for the army of green
