Darkness falls for a moment
so that the angels can not see
the mess that we have made
of what was once a place of beauty
The blue skies turned a sickening gray
the lush green forests
cut down and paved
The crystal clear waters
now muddied with shame
no one cares down here
we point fingers of blame
The earth is our mother
a gift we have abused
take what can be taken
and use what can be used
The soil now heavily poisoned
the rivers polluted with trash
we are on a collision course
and are just about to crash
The darkness falls for a moment
not to bring about fears
it falls every evening
to hide the angels tears....

Great Poem. I really liked it.
second line

I enjoyed this piece, quite a lot actually. Your vivid verbiage was like a literary oil painting. A tragic topic that could have come off cliche was beautifully written and all together touching. Star for you.

Very Very Nice!!!

I want to say thank you to each of you for your warm comments. I love sharing my poetry, it comes from the heart and you all inspire me to write more and better. Thank you for taking the time to read and post your thoughts, I certainly appreciate it!!

Your really good at poetry my dear. I'm impressed anyway. I've enjoyed reading your contributions this evening and I hope you keep it up.

Love and light,

Very nice, I associated the skies turning a sickening grey not only with pollution but also with chemtrails, is this correct?

Very nice work, I read it 4 times....

Thank you for sharing your work!
