You were there
living signal to speeding driver
that city and nature have space for each other
You were left
pointing fingers at rush hour artery
that had razed your lush sanctuary
You were made
charming oddity for all to see
standing between lane two and three
You were damned
sentenced by intolerance
dismissed as inconvenience
You are dying
in silent pain as they saw
away with the might of the law
You are vanquished
lofty intentions bid lowly retreat
green slogans paved over with concrete
