Modern Marvels

AS time moves on

Things dubbed "impossible"

Become the easiest

Feats for the human race

Manmade Mountains

Tower over New York

Their great beings

Shooting into the sky

Above clouds and

Beyond what was thought

Steel steeds

Ride upon the pavement trails

Zooming up to speeds

Once thought impossible

Deadly smoke rises

To form acid rain

From a delicate thing

Thought harmless

The flowers of the earth

Flattened by the

Construction ongoing in society

Metal tubes

Shoot up into the

Blue, blue sky

Past the atmosphere

Into the marvel of space

Collecting data

No more nature

Slowly, but surely

Any form of nature

Is hard to come by

Will there even be one single tree

Left upon the destructive land

In a sum of 10 years?
