the bird watchers


The gazebo like structure
The bird watchers erected years ago
Once it was camouflaged by the greens
The trees of shade the cool breezes

The quiet area soon forgot
Development came pushing it away
The bulldozers excavated sand
A new housing project on the land

The modern row of long houses
The familiar standard in most housing schemes
The bird watchers have to find another location
The birds will fly away to another site

The marks of development
It will never stay still for long
The bird watchers paradise will be gone
The hanging bird cages and tweets
