Notes About The Poem

Riding the Clouds -Sara Kendrick

It seems that a weak sun is trying to penetrate my cloud~

A cloud so heavy filled with moisture it drips steadily
Black ominous, not described as light and fluffy so hey you get off my cloud

For the swallows dart about through the damp thickness like bats who fly at night

          Let's try to make my cloud go away
                 
                     Don't let it stay, clear it for future generations

This cloud will engulf the wildest teen

                  A cloud of destruction for our future generations

How can our youth survive what has been placed around them

           A steady availability of illegal substance
                 
                      A diet that is totally unhealthy
            
             Violent games on gaming systems

    Teaching of right removed from the schools


My cloud is heavy, chilling, swirling, damp, penetrating the core of society

                          Citizens what can we do?  
 
Remember Rome did not fall in a day internal decay ate away its foundation

A cloud of decay is consuming our precious society

                    What can we do to redeem our future?

  Think it through what can we do__

Kp Nunez June 6, 2015 at 9:23 PM Worthy thoughts to contemplate this Sunday. Many outside forces are trying to destroy the core of the society - the family. A 7. Enjoy your weekend, Sara!
