So beautiful yet so destructive
The tiny tendrils of smoke peek out from the stacks
Looming overhead in position to poison
The population sits patiently underneath
Accepting the fruits of the process of destruction
In the form of energy, technology, progress
Mother Nature fights the good fight and tries to balance
The cars and trucks speed overhead on the overpass
The fish swim amongst the muck, human discards, concrete and poison,
It all lurks under the liquid glass, already in position releasing its’ toxins
To all who dare wade in its’ murky waters
