True Beauty

As I walk down the busy city streets 
Passing people with cell phones 
Glued to their ears 
Naive to all the beauty beyond life at work 
They are all dressed in gloomy dark colors 
Looking depressed in a fast moving world 
I stare at their faces and they stare back 
With suspicious eyes and fake smiles 
They hide behind laptops 
And refuse to show their true selves 
Behind and beyond the city is a world of beauty 
Where life slows to a pace that fits your pleasure 
Everything is green and bright with all happiness 
Life is stress free and everything is perfect 
And happy 
As I stand on the busy city street 
I wonder how many have bare witness 
To the beauty beyond the city
And I wonder 
How many wish they how many wish they could 
But they can't pull away from technology 
And I wonder 
How many don't want to bare witness
Natures true beauty
