Last Chance

people are falling from the sky
smog in the air and they can't fly
wearing tattered mismatch rags
they wallow in plastic bags,
waste, and rubbish remains piled high

So much said in so few words. Exceptional poem, Eve.

The situation is getting worse that's for sure Eve. Waste, pollution, homelessness. I may have pulled more from the poem than you intended but it made me think and that has to be good. Cheers - Gary

I think you've seen into the future Eve, the world is becoming a big rubbish tip. Tom
