[bodytext] => Grey and orange clouds
loom in the night sky,
industry has plucked her eyes
from their celestial sockets
as it has murdered nature

Dead roots torn from the earth
and decaying broken bodies
line the banks of poisoned rivers,
a mausoleum of past glory
an oracle of things to come

The thralls of avarice
devour the land with unyeilding appetite,
deficating until the wind is thick
with putrid fumes of decadence and deceit
that degrade the value of life

Do they drink the effluents
or welcome the acid rain
like the forests of steel and concrete,
have the noxious lies choked our concience
that we watch this slaughter with pride. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 220 [topic] => 39 [informant] => ArdRi79 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )

Wow... That was a pretty accurate description mate. Sorry didn't have time to really read yours before and I remembered I forgot to read it thouroughly. Few peoples that I really have to do that with. It was a great write for so many reasons. I don't understand the title though but don't always gotta.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
