The Pioneer

With hammers and get rich schemes

He ravished the mountains and polluted the streams

And never recorded at what cost

He paid for paradise lost

Congratulations on your poem being featured. This is an excellent poem. I like the flow of the words and the descriptiveness embedded therein. This is a reality poem of what is taking place today in many parts of the world. Great job! ~Joseph
