Mucky


 

He is slow moving smog

poisoning everyone around him

constricts their breathing

A willow canvasing the ground below

creating a barren desert beneath its branches

blocking all sunlight in its path

He is asbestos

triggering a malignant cancer to spread in your lungs

He has polluted your body

suffocating every organ within its reach

but its not too late
