What’s happening to the world today, I remember not too long ago, People would say ‘What’s pollution?’ Too much of this world has changed, A clean environment for A deadly sick earth we have exchanged, Where is our sense? Everything has gone plastic, You’re in if you have it It’s allegedly ‘fantastic’ Why are we doing this? In the city there is nothing to be seen most nights No stars, not one at all All that can be seen is the city lights How is this happening? The people of today have for the earth no love As children we were afraid of monsters, We have become what we were afraid of Still we continue? Slowly time ticks away the years, We kill this earth Until all that is here disappears Can it be stopped? Have we no shame, That we can progress, And enflict such pain, Is it to late? Danger...Danger.. Red light up ahead, the results will come up later, ''Why does the country smell different?'' |
This is a great poem. I have been looking for a peice to use in my poetry class as an example of a romantic era poem, and I think I shall use this one. A few spelling errors, "inflict", ect. other than that, good timing.

It is overall a good poem though, and you have a really good point, that is very clear to the reader, good work. | Posted on 2006-02-02 00:00:00 | by Dark Muse | [ Reply to This ] | Although it's a simple and concise poem, it has great meaning. All you need is to beautify your sentences, that way it'll express more of the author's feelings to the reader. Try it. | | Posted on 2006-02-02 00:00:00 | by Razorain | [ Reply to This ] | |
