One fine day, maybe, light will shine again. For life is dying, All life nourishment is cut off, all air toxic sodomized, plants suffocated, Harmony halted, an overloaded of emotional culpability. We pave our way to hell, our evil with insincere designs. Gracious mysticism is a dirty word, peace a bygone dream. Trees are felled, or burned, rills chemically polluted. Deprived are fish of their seas. The polar regions are slowly melting. Yet one day, maybe, the light will shine once more and maybe I'll find a deep baggage full of bright rose quartz. 11 April 2021 Anacreontic Verse Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Silent One 30 lines 5 syllables per line Checked on www.howmanysyllables.com

Nothing is beyond redemption ! Let us hope that people will realize one day the harm they are doing to Mother earth and will join hands to make a cleaner earth ! A poem mirroring the times !

I often wonder if we will see such a sunshine again. God willing our children will at least. Very interesting and I enjoyed the read.

so true... i watch them develop more and more houses around me, the woods all being toppled down, the creeks flooding more and more, the wildlife in back yards, in highways with no where to hide... this needs to stop at some point... good entry for the contest, best wishes :) hugs

Something that needs to be said and the problem addressed. This is what happens when mankind tries to perfect what God already made perfect. Good job. God Bless, JB

Well, we can change but I don't know if the changes are soon enough. Man did not know to start with about the damage but now that we know we are more responsible. Your visit to my page is so encouraging. Sara

Such a sweet ending...bright rose quartz! Was a hard today. Mom wasn’t doing so good. Moved her to the ICU.

Well written Victor and quite thought provoking, if mankind doesn't buck his ideas up we'll be heading for barren wastelands and food shortages. Good luck in the contest Tom
