DARK

by Claire Kendell

It's gotten worse,

The darkness has nursed,

Every bad thing to life.

The street is of garbage,

There is so much today

I can't remember the last time I saw sage,

Every green thing has been slayed!

It has become dark,

There is no more lakes or plants,

Only bark,

With nothing left to see like ants.

The ocean virtually empty,

The fish are all gone,

The sharks are left tempting,

All left not done.

It has all become dark,

Filling the air with smoke,

Making shapes like an ark,

Filling the air with croaks.

The green-- where has it gone?

It should have been strong.

It should have resisted,

The darkness that was misted.

It is dark now,

Never light.

The mountains are all destroyed,

They are now valleys of animals bones,

Trapped forever

Cold.

It is all dark,

It is all dark,

Dark.
