Beautiful Affliction


A colorful candy wrapper rolling along the pebbled floor, A bag of potato chips thrown into the glistening shore, Black smog polluting the air we inhale, Greasy oil suffocating a beautiful gray whale. While a stunning butterfly slowly spreads its wings, A bird’s neck is strangled within plastic soda rings.
