A Dying World

Contributed by OzChick on Tuesday, 17th January 2006 @ 09:24:03 PM in AEST
Topic: oops



~~~~~~~~~~

The log fire crackles,
Rub your hands, keep them warm.
A hyena cackles,
And a child is born.
The fire dies down.
The hyena's hush.
Another child is born.
The world is in a rush.
We don't slow down.
We just speed up.
The world goes round.
Another throat is cut.
People live, people die.
No one stops to wonder.
No one stops to ask why,
This world is going under.

><

Good write. Too many folks here on this earth. Not enough room for anyone else. Won't be long they'll find another planet and destroy the hell out of it too. Humans are a beastly bunch. Enjoy your writes, Peace to you, Laura

I think this is what a lot of people feel. I liked it. You're very talented, if this was when you were seven. Kep writing!
