Mid Jan 2018 Standard Contest - Deaf Ears
DEAF EARS
~~~~~~~
I walk alone, the stars they guide me.
They read my mind, leaving words.
They scare me, words of privation.
They feel my fear and ensure me,
that their words are for me to spread.
For all to hear and act accordingly.
I meditate, reaching out to the stars,
Across the void, beyond strange suns.
Finding the source of the left words,
they're not from the stars, no galaxies.
Lives that suffered our fate to come,
Look down at our self-destruction.
They fear for us, the words they left
noted our denial of climate change,
stating it will be our downfall.
Their words; privation, strife rife,
unless we heed the warnings now!
To procrastinate on stopping pollution,
their words, it will be our ruination.
I spread their words, sadly on deaf ears!
