Life As It Was

Kids admire butterflies in history magazines and science journals, wondering where they vanished to. The price of a honey jar is equated to that of an emerald; life is not as it was then….. By: Teddy Kimathi Published in: Literature Today Journal, Issue #1 (The first issue of this poem was themed on man's relationship with the environment. My piece shows how life might be in the future, if we don't take care of our environment. Our actions today, will determine how the future will be, for our future generation.....)
