once nature was

The stream water from the hills

When it falls through layers of filtration

The water is clear in the naked eyes

The safety of nature in our minds

Once it reaches the lowland

There the mixture of good and bad

The contents become polluted

The eyes can see it outright

The years of old

Nature stood tall

When developments didn't come

When greed of profits in its infancy

The cool weather

The clean clear water in the streams

Now it was gone

The NS Highway took it all

What have today?

The hot weather and haze

Smog in the air and polluted water

The greed of wealth destroys it all
