The tones of greens and blues whiz by,
Blurred into mere smudges and forms;
I can imagine if I try
That this was the world before the storms.

Nature in all its beauty,
Was never quite enough.
Man chose to neglect their duty
And refused to leave nature in the rough.

Now bent and broken,
The world lives on
Covered in humanity’s tokens
Made up of what is now forever gone.

Yes, I try to imagine what that world was like
As I flee from the unseen grey waiting to strike.

I was inspired to write this piece while studying pollution and climate change, and how the environment is affected by the way we treat it. I tried to imagine what it would be like to live in a world plagued by all the negative things caused by pollution.
