How the World Has Changed

Have you seen changing of colours? World shifting thoughts without insight Mellifluous tones making way for cacophony Drums buried beneath shambles, And people returning to the jungle, Craving roots and leaves As life becomes spooky affair The world changing patterns, As beauty becomes an obstacle Have you witnessed the unforeseeable? Mountains becoming smaller Flower refusing to bloom Nature giving up its mandate, Moving away from positivity Negativity embracing every creature Inducing evil forces to celebrate with pride, As the world falls apart Hope assuming new meaning, As happiness sink underground That's how the world has changed Love making way for hostility Ignorance taking center stage People searching through garbage To find reasons for immorality Taking journeys to the wilderness Coming back with more grounds for deviation Goodness plummeting deeper As the world changes faces

Your poem touched me deeply. In my 70 years I have seen the world changing and decaying. People have changed and the earth is changing. You are wise and perceptive - and this is a wonderful poem.
