SILENCE

Flowers don't bloom
in tribute to
builders' apathy

the trees are dying:
they too know they'll be felled
or the heat will kill

the concrete rises
calamity too will rise
none talk the ruins they bring


--R.K.Singh

There are people who won't be satisfied until they've covered the fields with their concrete. But soon there will come a tipping point. And I don't mean builders waste.
