My homeland is not of the world

Dear World
What a woeful form
You have become;
Infested with humanity.

We have overcome
All you've done;
You've lost to the vanity.

The lives you've started
Are now departed;
Screaming their bloody cries.

We've set out to kill,
And will not be stilled;
We will win you as our prize.

The mountain falls,
The sun stalls;
Shadows fills the Earth.

The sky cries,
Saying, "Goodbye";
Mother nature will not give birth.

The end will come,
Earth will be done;
The process will not stall.

The sun will end,
Gravity will bend;
The Earth will someday fall.
-Matt-
Not sure what catagory it would fit in, so I posted it here.

I like this...it's sad, because unfortunately we do seem to hurt the world, however I don't think we're totally destructive. Humans do things to look after the planet too...it's not all so bleak..

I know, I'm not saying that we're all bad, well I guess in a way I am.  My english teacher just told us to write a letter to the world, and tell it what we think about it.  We were reading poetry at the time, so I decided to write it in poem form.  I just started writing down, and before I know it I was done.  I do agree with all thats in it, but I also believe that we can, and perhaps will, make it better.

Hello Matt

This was so well written and every word so very true.  Your words were filled with power and truth and projected such strong images.  I'll look forward to reading more from you.

Take care........Sue
