Naturally manmade.

Ben Dunne.

Take a stroll, relax a little long while,

perplexed by the scenery, look far off.

Sigh in disgust, far off, up at the vile,

foul foundries of industry, let a cough,

clear your throat, clear your mind, refresh yourself.

Imagine the horizon is clear of,

the multiple stacks, the singular shelf.

Pay homage to your surroundings, a dove,

soaring, probably choking, upon gas.

Shake your head, slowly, shake in partial shame,

staring out the murky polluted grass.

Hatred, burning intense, like a white flame,

where is it? The keystone of it all, cure,

our beautiful, original, nature?
