The Onlooker

THE ON-LOOKER(ANY OLD POEM CONTEST) I watched in awe As the landscape transformed Stone on top of stone Cement wedding with the sand Into executive apartment And the towering investment I watched silently, As the sons of real men Created the city. I watched in amazement The horizons disappear Services all coming nearer Simple plots becoming dearer Up came the magnificent mall So towering and tall I watched quietly, As the sons of real men Created the city. I watched astonished As tomorrow arose Grass turning to glass, Steel, iron and chrome Pictures from the movies Becoming our realities I watched with joy, As the sons of real men Created the city.
