Blues of the tranquil sky
Froze my gaze on that tiny arc
The silver crescent
Smiling down at the circus
A pained smile
Watching
Plastics turning human
Humans turning plastic
Hearts turning ice
Ice flooding the land
Planet shaking in fear
Murky air
And yet
We just don’t care
Willows weeping
Oceans reeking
But no!
Why should we care?
The lines have blurred
It’s hard to tell
If we are living on earth
Or a hell in disguise
Rolled the carpets…lives ago..
