Wisepicks For 25 March

April Camille Berden

 

For every
skyscrapers built,
Mother Nature
dies with it.

 

Darren Knight

 

The higher
our buildings go
the deeper the cracks
in our climate become.

 

Dharmen De Paswan

 

What we call urbanization
is modernization
but actually
it is desertification.

 

Rinku Shah

 

Development
and construction
has parched
Mother Earth.
At this cost
is it really worth?
Time to rethink.
We are close
to the brink!

 

April Camille Berden

 

Are we really prospering?
Nurturing our way of life
while torturing the Earth.

 

Shilpika Bagh

 

The ‘plight’ of civilization;
‘drought’ with urbanization.

 

Basudev Chakrabarty

 

Unearthing the evils of
Urbanization of the world.

 

Jackie De Klerk

 

Once upon a time
there was nothing
but nature.
Now people
created erosion
with buildings.

 

Joanne Margaret Peckham

 

The Curse
of the Urban Sprawl!

 

Diane Lynn Cooley

 

It’s dry and cracking
like mud or paint.
Mosaic ruins.

 

Ashish Verma

 

Urbanization has
engulfed mother Earth,
Leaving the flora
and fauna to dearth.

 

Sikha Chatterjee

 

The more
urbanization will develop
the more sufferings
will be created
for nature and poor people.

 

John Ortiz

 

The land underneath,
is the land
of a lost graveyard
to a money dynasty

that failed the people.


 

Jaishree Buthuram

 

A Concrete jungle
where us humans
are imprisoned.

 

Abzy Jay

 

The earth is dying
but people continue
to live the same life.

 

Hamida Rahim Mardhani

 

With the buildings so tall
Humans have become
underground.
Each trapped in the maze
wondering where
are the sun rays!

 

Anju Saxena

 

Cracking up of
the concrete jungle.

 

Jackie De Klerk

 

Dry land,
cracked sand.
Trees standing tall.
Now the buildings stand,
nature came to a fall,
with people,
buildings and all.

 

Asmiya S

 

Increasing abundance
apparently shows
that we have more desire
to be comfortable
than the desire to live.

 

Deb Meyers

 

The mosaic of man,
who has taken the land,
converted the sand
and into the city
it all has been crammed.

 

Linda Mansolf

 

A stone cold planet
where ‘living’
becomes an existence.
Earth they call it.

 

Debra Pry

 

When mother Earth
decides to go away,
I’m afraid none
of us will stay.
Too many high-rises
and not enough land.
Not enough
bare feet
to kick in the sand.
Nature is healing,
Depression is high.
I guess we’re all
just living a lie.

 

Shilpika Bagh

 

Nurture the ‘mother nature’;
parched by ‘skyscrapers’.
