Having been away for quite long
the land before my home had changed
with its trees all being uprooted
the greenery totally disappearing
now looking bare and rugged all around
the monkey family which lived on the trees
a lively interaction they had all through
with the mama monkey carrying the little one
while the other two older ones hopping up and down
as the head of the family was busy hunting food
there was a grand merry go around all through
now the family has migrated somewhere
leaving me alone gazing at the empty ground
where there is going to be a thoroughfare
as lorries would be parked with drivers loitering about
some smoking cigar and others spitting out
a different environment I am supposed to face
the days being not very far from now
as the work is going on with great speed
creating and growing takes time
destroying and removing is through no time
that being a universal factor all the way through
the extinction of orangutans is underway
making the rain forest area almost nothing
but a place of buildings and yards
turning more commercial and causing a disaster
with that the eco-friendly nation has become 
unfriendly
carving a corner where everything transforms into money.
that impermanence is inevitable
