Fatal Beauty

The evening sky aglow with color
beauty incarnate to the human eye.

         In it's mist death awaits
         as the damage we belie.

             With sins of greed
       the poisons build on high.

       Will we wake and recover
   or wait and see our planet die?

Thank you Nigel I'm glad you liked my poem. I love your first name it is so English sounding. There is something so Aristocratic about that name.
