Empires fall, and fail to rise, Love is hate; old truth: new lies Crimson contaminates a swan's virgin wings Dissonant chords spew from golden harp strings A puppy, a child, side by side in a bin Volcanoes vomit blood, earthquakes- sin Oil infested carcasses wash up on the shore A teenager's wrist wounds are reopened once more. Thick, heavy smog inhaled by groom and bride Acid rain can't dilute filth deep inside Gaya is shrieking, yet your ears are deaf To the fate of the earth, the fate of yourself. This massacre of nature painted in future's mind Look down at your fingers and you will find This world will be real, sooner or later And too late you'll realise that you were the painter. ** Just thought I'd post something different to my previous poems. The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears. |

Shireen, Well, you did capture the way it is, and a sad state we are in. I think one of things we can do on an individual basis is take care of space we live in....ala: recyclng, no-littering, volunteer for clean-up work highways, neighborhoods....or just plain get involved politically, which I personally don't have much faith in. Interesting write. Hugs and warm regards, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Thanks, and I agree with you completely Pat. If everyone did their part, there wouldn't be such a big mess. As long as people care, there's still hope though, and for that, I'm grateful. The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears. |
