Where once fields lay with room to breathe,
Now bustling streets and towers seethe.
The world expands with every birth,
Yet shrinks in space, our cherished earth.

From urban hearts to rural lands,
The multitude of human hands.
Building dreams, yet taking space,
A growing race in a finite place.

Whispers of nature, once so loud,
Are drowned by the ever-growing crowd.
Forests fall to cities’ greed,
As population grows, and nature bleeds.

Can harmony be found anew,
Between the old and what is due?
A balance struck, a future bright,
For every soul, in shared daylight.
