There Were

Poem ... There were

There were cars
Clogging city street
Vacant buildings now
Silence the new beat

There were highways
Traveling far
Covered in weeds now
Occasional rusted car

There were planes
Thunder passing by
No more white streaks
Our writings in the sky

There were lovers
Finger tips to touch
Whispers turned to silence
Arms no longer clutch

There were deep green forests
Enriching moistened air
Now just dusty soils
No life we are aware

There were clouds and storms
Bringing life into the Day
But we have changed all that
Since we had our way
