As beauty gives way to blunder

Places from my past, but the memories never seem to last.

How can something so beautiful eventually fall prey to something so ugly?

Commercialization and industry reap us of the breath-taking views.

What happens when you’re charged to see what was once free?

Whoring out the planet that at one point was under the ownership of we instead of me.

The beauty escapes a place like this as the city scape rapes the innocence that once was.

But something that was considered ugly can now be seen in a new light.

Cause as they say, “beauty comes with age.”

Whether it is in the age of the viewer or the age of the place is up for debate.

A city so cluttered with buildings and lights can only show its true beauty from afar.

While a beach surrounded in natural land can be pretty from every angle fathomable.

For it only takes a novice to capture a great scene from something handed to them.

But it takes a true expert to capture something remarkable from a tabooed setting.

An eye sore at first glance is home to so much more than we take time to give credit where it is due.
