my favorite-unfavorite lines, so far: The birds and mammals have long left the stage, Leaving wretched creatures peering from a cage. Fishes are still in numbers but only in the farms, Waste from their feed causing the lake much harm. has Part 2 come true? The lakeside and whatever left lays tinged with oil, Man's insatiable greed has erased nature's toil.............probably lies tinged, but, hey, great lines! but WAIT! After the trees have been cut down, and lake drainage caused you a frown, Nature will get the last laugh at Mankind. Volcanoes will erupt; NO more 'men' will you find! bri :) : (? this shall join Part 2 in MyPoemList.

Around a rubbish dump with the muse of the land; affect by human activities. Nice piece.

This often happens everywhere! The greedy men are hunting for sources to make money! Thus forests are cleared and and hills are razed down. In the place of forests, concrete jungles arise! The quiet places are turned into buzzing industrial estates and the air and the water sources are polluted! Only a few Nature lovers grieve while the money minded people rejoice! Beautifully pictured the modern trends of assaulting Nature in the name of development!
