Sad Landscape - Our Planet

How can anything live in this World of ours No Green any more have the Trees Flowers now all Black and Dying No Songs, the Birds no longer Sing No Wind rustles through the Trees The Waves no longer crash on the Sea Shores No Sound of Music playing in the Air Children, We no longer hear at Play The Vast Sky An Enormous Black Void What The Hell Have We Done No Fish break the Surface of the Still Lakes No Sounds of Sheep or Lowing of Cows This World of No Colour or Laughter Sends Shivers Down my Spine Nature tried Time and Time Again To Warn us to Change our Ways Sending Plagues and Aids among Other Things But Did We Listen to Her Pleas? Instead We De-voided Forests of Their Trees Polluted Our Rivers, Lakes and Seas Why didn't We Listen, We Just Continued To Pillage and Rape This World of Ours What The Hell Have We Done Everywhere I look I see Emptiness There is Only One Colour Left That of Blood soaking into the Land Its Vivid Red Hue shocking yet as all will know blood when it hits the light turns colour, turning to Black against the Poisoned Landscape What The Hell Have We Humans Done written 03/20/2014 contest Saddest Landscape try reading it out loud

Very true, but so very sad. There's lots of talk going on, but I'm sure that not much is being done. Very good write. What will our grand...children inherit? // paul

WOW! Shadow, much of the sadness is caused by the deeds of war, and hurting Nature, when taking from her lands... We have poor excuses for what we've done. So empty, and so... I enjoyed how good you pulled this one off.... sending hugs.. LINDA
