Erosion

It is the denial that you try to deny, Your sky does not cry; its tears do not join yours, They are not pure or purified, Chemical toxins and poison fumes wash the air, Acid descends from the lower heavens, Overtaking the higher earth and rushing low, Sweeping into swirls and spirals, Descending! Descending! Stripping you down into a shell, Natural erosion of emotion, Fires turn the noxious sky grey, It moans with warnings, Run away from the toxic greys, The sky does not cry; its tears tear into yours, A haze of aerial smokey waterways, Blending in some undivine battle, Two way personal conflicting convictions, Ground degrades and atmosphere fades, Decay! Decay! Artificial rot and ruin remain, Inferno soil and tainted air, Breathe in heavy your breath now soiled, What is left of your cloudy day? You have bled until all was bleak, Now, and only now do you relent, Your heart tattered and your clothes rent, The sky does not cry; its life flows free, Defeated! Defeated!
