With tears floating
Lonely boats swim
Beauty of nature shows
The picture of modern life
…getting blurry with time
Generations have survived
Birds fight human wastes
Animals struggle with extinction
Plants lost identities
Life is being euthanized
…every single day
No remorse in our eyes
Pain is inflicted
Destruction is all around
Earth deals with nature’s wrath
While we keep living
..tainted twisted lives
In the midst of hurtful maze
An angel collects fallen tears
Wondering about the wrongs
Saving the world from corruption
…hoping pearls won’t go wasted
Within palms of her tender innocence
Captures the beauty of the world
Vibrant colors floating in slipping tears
She holds them tight gently
Trying salvaging the remains of humanity
…its’ only a child’s play
...savior of humankind

This is a beautifully deep poem. I think most people don't care about the things going on in our world but many do and it only takes one to see the negative in things.

Thanks hun
I'm glad you liked this poem ... I know most of us don't care... and the few that do are carrying the burden of the ones who don't and making sure the world keeps living, hoping things would change for better... I appreciate your support and comment... take care Minoo
