An Industrious Nature - A Poem

I see industrious mountains
and the expanding wooded sprawl
Shrubby conurbations begin the process
and later wild flower population booms occur
Amidst this prolific progress and growth
Energy resource discoveries are utilised to their maximum efficiencies
The squirrels and Jays intelligently bank their natural capital for a rainy day
and in the valley bottom, ceaseless liquid capital carves the way
transferring and trading nutrients to other centers of investment
Commuting birds over-head, searching out a meal on their lunch breaks
All the while the invisible hand of the ecology guides, drives and steers this Living, Breathing, Planet.

I feel this quote fits in well too:

"I remember my earliest view of Manchester. I saw the forest of chimneys pouring forth volumes of steam and smoke, forming an inky canopy which seemed to embrace and involve the whole place."
—W. Cooke Taylor , (1842)
