I looked, stunned
At the rising sun so beautiful
Against the street wrecked with
The morning havoc so dense
With people unwilling to look up
To the sky and realize the sincere beauty
Missing
From the flow of destruction they caused
What we all cause
To the willful deterioration
Of the slimming society
Of mother nature
