Let's converse

Divide and rue

The fish swam at ease
Letting the ripples pass
The grass swayed
In pace with the wind
Pebbles and rocks, big and small
Lounged lazily along the shore
The mountains stretched
Unmoving, in green hues
Above all, the clouds
Were pristine white
None knew boundaries
Except man
Picture
Who made divisions
Yours, mine, they, us
Relentlessly hammering
Reducing mountains to buildings
Plundering regardless
Of the Cicadas’ shrill warnings
Maybe nature finds it best
To let man be
At another
While she waits
Until they wake up

Find balance
And return, chastened
To her embrace.

Such a beautiful and serene place. Sad to see excavators demolishing the beauty of nature 😞

Yes, Shernaz. They were like mechanical monsters in a garden.

This is agonizingly beautiful. Aren't there laws to protect the little that still remains?

You have put it right: agony with beauty. Not sure of the laws. All I could figure out was the pieces of nature (mountains included) are all privately owned. Many worship nature and respect what have been handed down to them by their forefathers. However, some prefer to let "their" hills be demolished for limestone mining.
