Day 4 Forgotten [Skyler]

the treasure lies
under
neath the hollow barks
and empty rooms
and dusty roads 

it hides in half
devastated war zones
a broken piece within
chests of false happiness

trembling
  hoping
for its lack of use
but alas

now it lies quietly 
no one ever recognises it

forgotten

above ground
trees stretch for miles

they teach buildings 
how to grow
but they too forget

a twist of nature
a fool of men
growing on what's better
ignored

In our visit to the air raid shelter, I realised how often things could be hiding right beneath our eyes. My father took our family there to eat ice cream quite a few times, and we always parked our car at the car park where the air raid shelter was, yet we never realised that the air raid shelter was just there. I think that brings to question; Should the history of buildings be made known to everyone? How often is it that the history of certain places go unseen?
