Through the mists of time
Three guardians watch
Watch their world
Unable to comprehend
Through the mists of mind
Three protectors watch
Watch their world
Unable to reason why
Through the fog of reality
Three elders watch
Watch their world
Unable to understand
Through humanity's obscurity
Three souls grapple
Unable to grasp
Why man destroys
That which he loves
And longs for
That which he destroys

Please be honest, whilst stroking my ego is nice it does not help me grow as a writer. If you have any constructive criticism or positive suggestions on how to improve my work please let me know.

I like the irony of the message here. I thought at first that the 2nd stanza was maybe too much like the first, but you changed time to mind, so I would keep it.

Oh this is so bloody true! You have really summed up our stupidity very well. When will we understand that we are destroying ourselves as we destroy our planet! Thanks for this entry and good luck.

Very wise words indeed. Our planet is suffering whilst we continue to contribute to it
Well done and best of luck in this contest
