forgive me,world

forgive me,world, for I have wronged you. 

forgiveness for the beautiful oceans and tides pulling in,

 now pushed back by our nonchalance.

Forgive us world, for the ghosts of our past

Are now coming for us.

Forgive us for the flowers once pink, 

now wilted and disintegrated

Forgive us for the forests

burning

 forgive us world, for we have wronged you. 

Forgive the toxicity floating above our heads, 

the wishful tones of a beautiful bird toned down

 to a mere whisper. 

Forgive the oil in the sea, a monster emerging

 from the depths of human nature. 

forgive me world, for the sun no longer shines

 the way it used to. 

Forgive me world, because the salt of the sea 

is now a sting, rather than a glorious feeling.

 Forgive me world, for the animals we once cherished

 are brawling to keep their lives.

Forgive us world, because we have destroyed you. Forgive us.
