Ignorance
Beauty covers the sky
Painting a mural for all
An unappreciated gift
Colorful birds fly across the trees like angels
Monkeys howl playfully from a distance
The sun pierced through the openings
Reds blur the green
Screeches cover all other sound
Increasing by the days
Heat burns through all
Tension secretly rises
We sit in our instigators
Complaining about traffic
Our greatest inconvenience
While others worry about death
Tick tick tick
Time goes by
Tragedy is inevitable
When we live in ignorance
The reds spread
It’s coming home now
It’s coming for it’s source
Now we worry
Now we care
Now that it’s our doom
Is it too late?
We watch others suffer
While we watch TV
We impatiently wait for our dinners
While they wait to die
We ignore any trouble
Until it’s our problem too
We can’t live this way forever
It’s our time to change
But we missed our cue.
