If the earth could talk
i was once,
a vast land, filled with life, Joyful, Bright,
the sun used for light, MY land green filled and frolicing,
birds sing, plants growing, and me knowing, everything was just right.
there were vast pockets of water as far as i could see. i met someone new today,
they had this thing that moved on its own power, it was a marvelous creation at the
time. however, as time went on more miraculously moved by.
Oh, how time flies, now these things with four circles on the ground grew bigger,
MY trees have become, sidewalks and city blocks,
no more grass, how sad,
the green land has turned into a red and grey color
just as they laid bricks and poured cement,
I can’t combat it.
the things they build create black clouds, not the ones already in the skies, the smell,
makes me sick,
my forest turn into ghost forests with dead trees, no leaves, my climate changes
I’m sweating, storms of giant magnitude, people can’t live anymore, I can’t live
anymore,
I IMPlODE,
no more world, THEY weren’t able to save me, nothing i could do
but hope,
my prayers NEVER were answered,
they let me go, goodbye,
cruel world.
