Out on the golden hour when the sun set its rays
Before darkness enveloped the sky with clouds of grey
The howling wind whispered something to my ear
It shivered through my spine; I cannot bear.
"Help me, the excruciating pain is inevitable."
The voice was cracking, sounding wretched and painful
It seems like someone's crying out for help
And the mourning isn't visible, but can be felt.
As I wandered my eyes deeper in the field of vastness,
I cannot help but to be sad about the mess
I saw numerous plastic wrapper and empty bottle
Carelessly thrown and neglected on the land of hope; it's horrible.
From a field of thick green pasture,
To a seemingly garbage pit of disaster
From a clean and heavenly air we can breathe
To a temperature increase of forty-five degrees.
The world has indeed changed for several years horrendously
It had grown old and strange terrifically and dreadfully
Painful as it may sound, but we cannot hide the truth
That we can't stop the change in any way we could.
It's more terrifying that we are the cause of change
We cannot fathom how we live in a manner that is strange
Yet we still continue to be the pollutants, toxins, and cancer
It has been us from the very start of the year.
I was haunted even when I closed my eyes
I may not see it, but I can hear torturous cries
My heart pounded not because I was afraid,
But because I have enough reasons to be dismayed.
After I grasped for air and told myself to be calm,
My eyelids moved and opened and saw my sweaty palms
The birds chirped from a far and flew again
As I was looking to the field with myself regained.
How heartbreaking it is to see how the world gradually died
And be one of the reasons why it cried
But it is more painful to just sit and not do anything
Or wait for somebody to do something.
