How the World Has Changed

Have you seen changing of colours?
World shifting thoughts without insight
Mellifluous tones making way for cacophony
Drums buried beneath shambles,
And people returning to the jungle,
Craving roots and leaves
As life becomes spooky affair
The world changing patterns,
As beauty becomes an obstacle

Have you witnessed the unforeseeable?
Mountains becoming smaller
Flower refusing to bloom
Nature giving up its mandate,
Moving away from positivity
Negativity embracing every creature
Inducing evil forces to celebrate with pride,
As the world falls apart
Hope assuming new meaning,
As happiness sink underground

That's how the world has changed
Love making way for hostility
Ignorance taking center stage
People searching through garbage
To find reasons for immorality
Taking journeys to the wilderness
Coming back with more grounds for deviation
Goodness plummeting deeper
As the world changes faces

Sherry Asbury November 23, 2018 at 6:41 AM Your poem touched me deeply. In my 70 years I have seen the world changing and decaying. People have changed and the earth is changing. You are wise and perceptive - and this is a wonderful poem. Lekau Mamabolo November 27, 2018 at 3:02 AM Thank very much Sherry for your inspiring comment.
