The beauty of life
The hustling, bustling speed of the city,
People rushing, racing each other all day.

No one takes the time to stop and look, the pity.
To look at what we built, and how we changed bays,

Beauty in every road, every building and sign,
The natural sights are growing slim.

Skyscrapers rise taller than mountains,
The natural lighting is growing dim

We trade waterfalls for fountains,
Man-made is the preferred way.

The nature of nature is to hold steady,
The nature of humanity is  to grow.

People of old are longing for the past,
The youth adapt like dammed rivers flow

Traffic hugs the streets in synchrony,
Like the ants of a hill, on their journey,

The progress of humanity moves fast,
Humanity as alive. Humanity is beauty.
