Gods Paintbrush

Our night sky is barren tonight We’ve built subdivisions, And Towers Where Every Free inch Blocks the beauty of a once Swim-able River Now Poisonous to its fish friend occupants Where Stars are overpowered by Neon lighs and limelight brights Leave a disgusting Stain THAT WAS On a once beautiful sunset canvas by god’s paintbrush now left by mans graffiti ugly words now its tainted These giants Choke the Atmosphere with their toxic breath And where shall I draw from moments of comfort? When Screaming sirens Cut through the silence of Nights where my body Tosses and turns And crickets Songs are no more Because everything in the city Is synthetic And has killed Our green organic But I am here Trapped in a suburbia nightmare Not my home Who will save us from here?
