Chris Bunton your poem spoke Volumes!!! I remember when I moved into my small rural sanctuary 14 years ago all I saw was trees and fields and Nature. Then the world around me changed. The field I knew was now a busy neighborhood and these neighborhood will come and come and the worst part is all the forest animals don't know where to go. Thankfully my neighborhood have left untouched a small strip of the forest where the foxes, deer's and other forest friends live. I sometime see the Rabbits in the backyard and the birds some to our backyard safe haven. But it hurts to see Nature being moved away for the HOA to charge us for our living and rules and laws being build on Free land for all living creatures. Thank you Chris for this touching poem.
