64 Years
64 YEARS
~~~*~~~
64 years,
from puberty to the present.
64 years,
I have witnessed mans ignorance!
64 years,
of each other, cultures, colour, and creeds.
64 years,
of no respect for nature, man does as he, please!
64 years,
I have witnessed from puberty to the present life tortured!
64 years,
in 1955 frogs blown up with reed straws, and butchered!
64 years,
of collateral damage, innocents killed in unnecessary wars!
64 years,
not an eyewitness, but have read of the damage nuclear power can cause
64 years,
of leaders who mentally pollute their peoples' minds' for their own gain
64 years,
of business's who pollute not just nature, governments as well, causing world pain
64 years,
of politicians saying 'we learn from mistakes' lies, I beg, please do look around.
64 years,
of percentage reference pay increase's, the rich getting richer the poor destitute is what I've found!
64 years,
of leaders living in luxury while their country starves seizing monetary donations.
64 years,
of mans' ignorance, in denial of facts, extinctions are happening and happening fast, lost generations
64 years,
for me I'm close to my end, for you youngsters I wish you much fun,
however, denial of facts as is, and all life will be done! Will! Be! Done!
My tree,
part of
my life
these
roots
firm, my
taproot
solid!
