Cloud People

Houses creep closer together Inch by foot by yard by mile Until you see your neighbor smile. Cities spread their urban sprawl Hour after month after week If earth cannot breath, she will speak. People schooled to grow apart Given time will graduate Into a class of greed and hate. Clouds that crowd together Suffocate the blue away Until the wind blows back the day. 19th May 2016
