Black Death

by Lonely Little Dreamer   Sep 2, 2007


Grey wisps waft within the air,
Envelopes a nearby child.
Her breath becomes short and labored,
As she falls to the ground.

Filth and trash cover the earth,
Never to disappear, never to decay.
Instead of grass and flower beds,
All that is seen is white and orange.

Poison tainted clouds cover the sky,
Killing everything that it touches.
What could possibly be the cause of such destruction?
Selfishness, an incurable addiction.

    I liked the retorical question you added intho this piece, I also liked how you ended up answering therefor not making it so retorical but actually made sense of it. This was also another truthful piece by you, your work is really honest and shows so much emotions written in depth. Word choice again really effective. Well done. Loved this one alot. ~Mel

    We have all been guilty of being selfish a time, two, and even three in our lives. It is human nature and one that we will not be able to be rid of any time soon.

    This was good and seemed to scream a hint of truth to everyone that reads it.
