The Highway
seems forever
as it crosses the land
on a ribbon of
black top-
rumbling wheels
a-turning
cry victory
to the disdain
of
environmentalists
as it displaces
what used to be
farmland-
now taking us
to beautiful spaces
where Nature
still arm-wrestles
lumber barons
for the balance of
her land.

There'll always be a tension
There'll always be a tension between wanting to keep the land only for the flora, fauna, and a select few, and opening it up to more hordes to enjoy, hopefully fairly responsibly! Rhiannon
