The Little Pink Cloud

A little pink cloud rolled slowly across the sky,
Upon looking closer I saw a tear fall from his eye,
Why are you so sad I asked as he rolled on by,
He looked at me carefully and let out a huge sigh,

There is always such peace up here in the sky,
But looking down on earth always makes me cry,
The people living there should be quite ashamed,
For all that's wrong on earth they can only be blamed,

There is hatred, prejudice and a lack of respect for life,
There is jealousy, no kindness and so much strife,
There are wars, weapons and a drug epidemic of fools,
And it seems power and money gets to stretch all the rules,

If they are not careful they will ruin your planet earth,
And if they do that then what will it all be worth?
Be kind to all people and make everyone understand,
You must clean up your world and take a strong stand,

The little pink cloud said I think you heard all I said,
And I hope my message will continue to spread,
I want to enjoy my time rolling around the sky,
And not look down on earth and always want to cry!

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
