The Urban Sprawl

The city lights, far and wide,
As far as my eyes can see ,
It's sad to see I don't find a tree's side,
People look independent and free,
But the nature seems caged,
And the environment is in rage.

Towering buildings all my side,
Looking forward to my uber ride,
Technology, however advanced,
Nature's not going to give away to this menace.
When and how, we not know,
How far the doom is, we ought to know,
Predictions by the intellect count to infinity,
To which the civilians have no affinity,
It's never too late to realise,
But we, the home sapiens, are paralysed.

And as my heart wanders in these city lights,
I think of my person who's out of my sight,
So close yet so far away,
With him my problems are at bay,
Three years Closeby and two years away,
The only constant is our love that stays,
Flying high, in highs and lows,
Togetherness is to what we bow.

And as my mind wanders with these lights,
I feel grown out of a cocoon,
Wouldn't say if a butterfly would fit,
But a strong armour for sure sits,
Crawling and struggling,
Fighting and standing,
A long way into this journey,
Many more to come, I stand upright,
With the winnowing winds,
And the starry sky above,
Just another night I gaze at this urban sprawl.
