It seems that a weak sun is trying to penetrate my cloud~ A cloud so heavy filled with moisture it drips steadily Black ominous, not described as light and fluffy so hey you get off my cloud For the swallows dart about through the damp thickness like bats who fly at night Let's try to make my cloud go away Don't let it stay, clear it for future generations This cloud will engulf the wildest teen A cloud of destruction for our future generations How can our youth survive what has been placed around them A steady availability of illegal substance A diet that is totally unhealthy Violent games on gaming systems Teaching of right removed from the schools My cloud is heavy, chilling, swirling, damp, penetrating the core of society Citizens what can we do? Remember Rome did not fall in a day internal decay ate away its foundation A cloud of decay is consuming our precious society What can we do to redeem our future? Think it through what can we do__ Contest Entry

Worthy thoughts to contemplate this Sunday. Many outside forces are trying to destroy the core of the society - the family. A 7. Enjoy your weekend, Sara!

Powerful thought provoking write Sara. I wonder what the clouds will look like in another 100 years. Good luck in the contest. Hugs

Very powerful piece Sara...What was once wrong is now right, the cloud grows darker each day as morality slips away...
