No Escape.
This world I fear is not for me,
The world I knew I cannot see.
No longer there, the wooded weald
Been carved up, by 'suits' well heeled.
The heath I roamed when I was young-
Commuter homes, brick walls, tile hung.
The village small, all knew each name
Now pushed aside, Developments reign.
My last move now, I have to stay.
Here meadows, flowers and trees hold sway.
But now I see, developers plan
To steal my world, by wave of hand.
Again they seek to take from me
All the things that set me free,
Leave me to drown in my despair.
Those greed led men, who do not care.

My Secret River
Thank you for reading and
Thank you for reading and commenting,the countryside has always been my life's breath. Now I am tied down by my family's genetic arthritis I cannot go away from my immediate vicinity to reach any, however my house at the moment is in a semi rural location which has inspired me to keep walking around the fields, despite the pain. Now with the plans for more huge estates here there will be nowhere for me to go, no point in struggling to walk round streets. It breaks my heart.
