The Outside of Town
Cobble streets converted to barren concrete
Rubber replaces the old leather soles
Footsteps on the pebble roads
Turned to ghostly gaits
Celestial pathways
Forgotten victims of Man’s growing ignorance
The outside of town
Has completely flipped around
Towering forests built by nature
Destroyed by the axman’s greed
Crystal clear rivers
Now run murky with chemical sewage
The purity of the mountain top air
Now spews fumes of radioactive waste
Everything pure has turned black
All that was white has turned to dust
Thank you,
Joseph Pede
