In the Eye of the Beholder

As the plane descends over San Fransisco,
I smile at the glittering lights-
Painting pictures for the night sky...
My mind contradicts itself
For the beauty I see is something I despise-
Replacing nature with these concrete kingdoms.
Yes, mankind has to reside somewhere-
But do we have to be so destructive?
I watch as smog from the factories add color to the paintings
While Mother nature chokes on the fumes...
I feel beauty and anger at the same time-
A conflict within my head,
Is this beauty, or another trick of deception?

I agree totally. I once started writing a poem along the same lines but never completed it. Maybe I will one day. A wonderful poem, full of imagery.

I love nature too. We just keep chipping away at it. Too bad. Great poem!
