Nature vs City Life

Vast lushful greenery forest
Existential are found
On the mountain terrain
Inhaling and exhaling
The cooling fresh atmosphere
This is the place humans miss the most
Before the rise of buildings

Mankind and animals
Dwell among the nature
Planting agriculture for food
Hunting for food
Though practice bartering
No gold, silvers and bronze coins are involved
Everyone live peaceably
Few crimes occur

Do mankind misses all these?
Do mankind trade freedom for money?
Don’t mankind remember responsibility?
Don’t mankind remember nature?

Abusing nature for self-gain
Eradicate nature and mountainous terrain
Explode mountain to pieces
Animals population decrease
Building high rise flats, towers, and roads
In the end
Replicate nature with clay, wax, and chemical
As an excuse to maintain clean road
As an excuse to save money for hiring workers
Machines replace human labour
Causing unemployment

Are mankind doomed to regrets?
No wonder the iceberg melts
No wonder mother earth groans in pain
No wonder animals also groan
No wonder mankind complains stress
No wonder crime rate increases
Are mankind doomed?

Upon waking up for work, train of thoughts echoed in my mind accompanied with strong words “explode mountain to pieces”. I’m missing my wordpress friends. Upon revisiting this repeatedly, the completed day is the end of inspiration.

Peeping Toddler

Suddenly popping out his head
Like a turtle; peeking at the flowers
Surroundings then declaring his house.

As I walked home with my son in my husband’s arms, he suddenly peeped at a nearby condominium. He was observing the flowers, plants and buildings. Out of the blue, he declared that the condominium was his house. Finally, he replied that it was not his house.

“Popping out his head across the fence” was the first words came to me. But I choose to express it in haiku rather than free verse. I want to limit my words limitation as a challenge to improve my creative writing.
