Urbanity Poem by M.J. Lemon

Perhaps a disaster is exactly what is needed to begin anew, taking away from all old structures, paid out by insurance companies leaving the individual to a brand new start. All taxes paid up, move forward into a new light. Your poem presents a lot of food for thought...Fantastic...10

Personal disasters can so totally devastate us as to lead to severe depression. Or so much growth can result that will indeed move mountains. I really love this poem, my friend!

With every disaster like a hurricane or an earthquake, there will be untold destruction and people who have lost their houses can now afford only makeshift houses and that too in landfills! Usually its effect will be felt more in urban areas where there is a floating population! However survival becomes an ordeal with every disaster! You have conveyed so much!

'People in this city come and go Buildings walk away Carried to the landfills' this is brilliant, the entire poem is brilliant, especially taxes and authorities out taking earthquakes, puts government and civil authority damage disasters into perspective

Hustle and bustle! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
