Long Balefully Poems

1
Though still within our infancy, 
we strive to thrive, but woefully 
we flash and flaunt our 'primacy',
display our trophies pridefully.
 
Our terra firma ecstasy
destroys survival's harmony,
lays waste to life on land and sea.
Mankind, thy name...

For the moment I merely watched him
Running back and forth in his home
I am patient you see

Her father roars,
“You named her Rain,
no wonder she is such a...

Love aviated in him, so subtly,
but felt nothing less than a knife,
that had encroached upon him so balefully,

We must bear with its disharmony as it passes us by ~Quote by poet

I have a picture of a barren land,
a moldy tree devoid of fruit and leaves.

I don't know how
I should begin
