The Eaters of Our Sky

The construction race threatens to eat all open space



They are eating our Sky!

With bricks and broken rocks,
stolen and chiseled stone chips,
they build these caves unnatural,
that rise high and block our blue sky!

They uproot the green beings of grace,
mercilessly dig the ground under,
and destroy our mountains
with shameless arrogance!

They then drill holes into our mother’s womb
and suck out her life giving nectar,
and trade her gifts priceless
for the mirage of monetary solace!

They create beasts of iron,
that act and abuse on their finger tips,
and gobble up our vitalities (water, air and land),
and rob all our lives of their souls!

With their ever-hungry utilitarian stares,
they rip the backbones from our bodies,
and create monuments of pride,
devoid of life and its natural colours!

They suffocate themselves and us all around
with their self-made poisoned concretes,
and with brain dead avarice, these idiots
go further high rise, and eat our sky!
