Pollution Free

Think of living on this earth
before the industrial revolution
having no cars or planes to pollute
air was clean no need of solution

There was no electric gadgets
nothing technical controlling the mind
life seemed so free and contended
no pressures to stress you blind

But alas these days is a dream
can't be brought back again
wish they could be though
that would get ten out of ten

So this folly is man's own doing
only got himself to ultimately blame
all in the name of progress they say
what for? end up in a flame!

(just some thoughts remanissing over years gone by when air was clean and free!)

Precise and relevant poem,a very good write on the old days when people lived on things natural. I remember our snacks then where boiled sweet potato and banana, lemon juice for drinks.
