Poem Title:
Poem
Written: August 16, 2023 _____________________________________________________________ In an era where horror dwells supreme. Where ignorance and cynicism coincide. We must share our thoughts as a team. Climb with kindness—with purity not collide. A requiem—for a dying Earth As we blame ourselves, no matter our worth. Distracted from our accountability, In this horrendous act of hypocrisy. Virtue died while greed flourished. And nature's beauty slowly perished. We built our castles upon her land. But failed to understand, That our actions have consequences, And the Earth is left defenseless. We point fingers and shift the blame. But deep down, we cognize it's all the same. We distract ourselves from the truth. Avoiding the pain, the bitter sleuth. That our choices have caused this plight, A world engulfed in endless night. But let us not lose hope just yet. For redemption, it is not too late to set. Let us rise above our proper despair. And show the Earth that we still care. With clean hearts and minds aware, We can heal the wounds and repair. Let us share our thoughts with kindness. And let clarity guide our blindness. Let us acknowledge our mistakes. And bear responsibility for the stakes. For in this requiem for a dying Earth, We have the power to catalyze rebirth. Let virtue rise and greed diminish. As we strive to restore and replenish. With love for our planet and all its worth, We can create a raw, sustainable birth.
