Desolute and Destitue
By ellie-jelly

This is a poem I wrote close to a year ago. I wanted to try and write about the environment, more so about how much damage has been done rather than how pretty the flowers are etc.... It seems a little "moody" to me. I'm thinking I want to work on this more. Suggestions welcome.

Desolute and Destitue

Peek through the glimmer
what does it reveal?
a world that seems dimmer
it doesn't seem to heal.


Choking on our life
devastation is beyond what is seen
never seen so much strife
trying to wash it self clean.


Go on your way
looking back with shaky hands
what was once crystal is now clay
what we devoured was the land.


Regeneration seems impossible
too much ignorance and not enough help
decay seems much more probable
this is the card that's been dealt.
