PEOPLE WHO SEE DON'T SEE MUCH

People throng malls to admire the beautiful architecture but on their way, they ignore the beautiful works of nature. See how people flood Dubai to check out a huge aquarium? Many of these people are from coastal cities. A lot of people don’t notice the many shades of green a Mango tree has in rainy season. Nobody notices the Hibiscus, or the little flowers on the Paw-Paw tree. Or the blueish-green of that fly before they swipe it off of their fruit. The blue in the sky that subtly fades here and there. The combination of colours from everywhere. The people who see don’t see much.

I was born and bred in Festac town. 24-Road is flanked on each side by these stretched out trees of tiny green leaves with blood-red flowers. I don’t know if they’re still there but back then I seemed to be the only one who noticed them and later developed a neck problem from staring up at the stars too much. Nature is that captivating! But I guess many who see don’t see much.
