Third World Urbanize Mind

Where are the bamboo Banana husk, dad's stone chair Mom's vegetable pots. Where are the rice fields Peanuts, peas, potatoes Corn, cassava, sweet and tamarind. Where is my childhood place I look for every sunset Just look out at the simpliest things. Now I have to fill up everything To open up the road, open everything else Why I am not happy at all. This is the progress you said Converting farmland to townhomes Why choose the mountain anyway. My heart breaks seeing greediness Easy money dislocating happiness On the lowly and the unprotected. How long avarice living the land Of simple living hide in the sun God forbade how small conscience is. Is urbanization answer loophole minds In the lowland of wizardry breed Is this what Third World country thinks.
