Visual Feast
Just like a stomach,
Denied access to the sustenance,
It desperately craves,
Laments not scooping up crumbs,
Before they are swept out of reach.
The eyes denied the visual feast,
Of Nature in its endless parade,
Of colours and textures,
Will lose their sparkle,
And the mind turn to darker thoughts.
How much longer will it take us to learn,
That a concrete jungle,
Is not a healthy place for those,
Who cannot see the need,
To travel outside city limits,
And witness Nature in the raw.
