Surviving on tears

by SmileeItsBritt   Jan 21, 2005


There will come a day
When the world dries up
When the rain will cease to fall
The clouds will give up
The lakes will be gone
The fish will all die
Dying from thirst
The people will cry
There will be no more rivers
The streams they wont flow
Everyones so thirsty
The families die slow
The wells will run dry
Oceans, nothing but salt
The rain from the sky
Will be put to a halt
But wait there is hope
Theres still something you see
The only hope left
Lies in the eyes of me
For I cry everyday
It will last them for years
They can drink from my eyes
They can survive on my tears

    The descriptions in this piece were beautifully spoken. It's a different type of poem than most, and I think that's what's so captivating about it. The title is what caught my attention, because I thought it was clever. This poem has something about it that makes it unique .. and I really like that.
