The Place

Blue skies above the spirit soaring high,
With snow peaked mountains as a guide.
Colorful meadows, trees and lakes of blue,
Which are the sights that by pass below.

Precious little time in this land we stand on,
There can only be so much taken from it.
As a wasted emphasized value is placed,
Habitable consumption has structured us.

We define living as accumulating wealth,
Or the collection of who has the most toys.
Increase in building, digging, population,
Money, food, pestilence, disease outbreaks.

By what means is justified for actions took.
Which has more worth and importance now.
Confused contempt of all that surrounds us?
Or signify change in the importance of value.
