Human Interference

Tongues are silent.
Why?

Peace is silent.
Until human interference.

Guns are silent.
Until human interference.

Disease is silent
until human interference.

Sky is silent.
Until human interference.

Trees are silent.
Until human interference.

Mother Nature is silent.
Until human interference.

Ink is silent .
Until poetic interference.

Simple Musing
Silent One

Well-crafted unique perspective. The irony is striking. Comments are silent without poet's interference. LOL.

Meaningful! I feel like Earth is not very lucky to have us. Imagine how beautiful she would be, only if humans had never interfered. Anyway, keep interfering with ink... We love your poems.. Mother nature too loves your muse. Regards!

Congratulations on this meaningful poem being honored with POTD Silent. I agree. If we do not question authority and blindly accept things such as mandatory vaccines when they are not proven safe then we deserve what happens to us. This is a very factual link to watch on the subject my friend. xxoo https://go2.thetruthaboutvaccines.com/docuseries/episode-9/

Silent One, you've captured the many facets of humanity's ills and frailties in this gem. Your artistic pen sums up our sad state of affairs and challenges us with a call for 'poetic interference' to right what is wrong. Stirring poetry with such a great ending. Congratulations on your well-deserved POTD recognition. Warmest wishes always, my inspiring friend.. ~Susan

I agree, Silent One. Not all respect the Environment. Shame on them. Same goes with Poetry and a Community of Poets. I am looking at your poem in this way. There can be "Peace in Poetry" My best to you. ~ Brandy

Peace is not just about poetry, its about humans (not all), taking note of what is around them and stop hurting the environment... Thank you Brandy..
