As Utopia Sleeps

We have taken all anxiety into our dreams cruel, unfathomable acts lodge into our fascia, as pain Part of a raging beast, oozing out of control helpless cells, imbued with a wisdom overcome by cancerous greed. We chase frothy bubbles lose concerns in selfish pursuits-far be it from us to be the conduit that delivers peace Our earth seen from a moon flight has a fragile beauty well known to us Its oceans are blue miracles, clear water, pure air, be-mucked by enterprise and murder, murder everywhere. Cities spread un- checked, razing field and forest Death hangs over us- the years too brief Two and fro we leap from history to history Blood and mayhem and un-numbered griefs. The world, so full of trouble, as Utopia sleeps 2/09 130 words Any Free Verse Poem In 200 Words or Less Contest Judged: 2/15/2017 9:24:00 AM Sponsored by: Lu Loo 8th Place
