A Sad Song

I looked down upon the ground
I looked up into the sky
Both scenes were filled with darkness
They were both unsatisfying

In the sky there was no light
On the ground there was no green
For in the sky  it was now night
And on the ground there was now sand where the grass had previously been

The sun had already set
The moon was out
The land was desolate
And the grass was never found

There was no more life
The happiness had gone
The land was filled with crime and rife
oh what a sad song

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
