Brown bog
Craggy slopes
Gnarled ash
Twisting road
Western wind
Soft rain
Green waves
Ancient stone
Gentle hills
Silent cows
Laden skies
Raucous crows
Dark islands
Western beams
Old monuments
Forgotten dreams.

Bungalow dwellings
Tormented scene
Desolate quarries
Open scream
Endless warehouses
Suburban crawl
Yellow bulldozers
Castles fall
Rusted cars
Ravaged hill
Illegal dumps
Treasures killed
Litter mounds
Beauty lost
Years of progress
At what cost?
