VJs Weekly Challenge – What A sight

“Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence.” Lin Yutang 

Off The Rails

What a sight this happenchance,
no more the corporate sea of
smoke and steam or voices echoing 
through this once vale of life in
this distant place of hardships
now erased as nature grips the
demons of steel by the throat,
all the while laughing at the thought
of progress in a place so fragile
where life so quickly goes
off the rails.
