Where has all the music gone?
The singing birds
The humming bees
The quacking ducks
The noisy geese
The village crooners
Have all been silenced.
Instead we have the screeching sound
Of industry's wheels as it turns around
Production is in full swing
But little pleasure it will bring
To the villagers who have been displaced
Their simple faith and trust was misplaced
To make way for wannabes to occupy their space
And make their mark as they enter the rat race
Like the birds the village voices have been stilled
Just as their land grabbers had probably willed
