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