Poetic Verses
That Little Change
There I was, an acre of such verdant land
Secluded, but was still accessible to man
My landscape was adorned with an assortment of beautiful trees
There was also such a variety of aromatic flowers and roses to see
Many people came to read, think and to have some privacy
Others come to relax and gasp in awe of such captivating beauty
Sometimes perhaps, intoxicated by the fragrance of the roses
Many men took their sweethearts there, and in poetry proposed.
Teachers would also take their classes on nature trips
As the pupils look at the plantss thpse botanical names came from their lips
Groups of people came in buses, frolicking and having fun
Enjoying all those things people do at an excursion.
Because I believe in keeping things confidentially
But there are many pictures of those occasions of infidelity
But as always what is done under the guise of privacy
Shall remain that way buried indefinitely.
The adjacent lake seemed to be a haven, a welcomed address
Because there, many colourful birds came to rest
Arranging there plumage in the cool of the evening sun
As always they would be flying away as soon as the day had begun.
Then one day, I saw not only to my surprise and great horror
Lot of men around talking and had the equipment of a surveyor
Closely followed by others, looking at an architect's plan
This scenario was one, that I now fully understand.
Before long there was a change in the surrounding area
A mall was constructed with supermarket, dico and also a cinema
Six laned road always filled with speeding traffic
The noise level was soon proving to be quite problematic.
The carbon fumes run away the poeple, and there also discoloured the leaves
Also the area now became a very good haven for thieves
Who stole from the mall, and broke into cars in the car park
And ran across my area, to disappear in the dark.
