how much longer

October 25, 2019

how much longer can the world last

before everything comes crashing down on us

the car exhause not many think about,

the garbage in the oceans people look away from

the fumes from the factories we pretend we can't smell

how much longer until when you try to turn away

you find that it has surronded you,

the things we turn a blind eye to will one day

be the thing that fills every horizon

one day the mountains will be of trash,

and the clouds made of smoke

and the oceans filled of oil

how much longer until eveything beautiful is replaced by the

things we tried to forget.
