Notes About The Poem

A Better Future

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.

Virginia Gelok April 17, 2021 at 1:03 PM 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.

Sandra Adams April 15, 2021 at 6:43 PM 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

Eve Roper April 15, 2021 at 7:21 AM Well said, Victor, where are we going to be in the future. Hugs Eve

Judy Ball April 14, 2021 at 11:58 PM 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

Sara Kendrick April 13, 2021 at 4:21 PM 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
