Poetry: A shoulder to cry on

by Zorlone

  • Writing Level Star

-+-

Angels grieve whenever you shed your tears,

Your body is shaking and trembling, dear.

-+-

Do you still have a shoulder to cry on?

A gentle ear to uphold their reasons.

-+-

Your scathed beauty is a product of greed,

to achieve progress, you gladly concede.

-+-

Your sustenance given generously,

left you broken, tired, and oh, so sickly.

-+-

These nations panicked when you were afraid

no words depicted these trails in a faze.

-+-

Oceans are smothered and skies are tainted.

Your forests and farms have now been flattened.

-+-

Traded for wealth, power and advancement,

species extinct, with our choices, flagrant.

-+-

Longed for the touch of a birth impeded,

the earth cried out, humanity listened.

-+-

This coming dawn convey support and trust.

Healing you now with conviction and just.

-+-

Your tears remind us of promises made,

that Mother earth may somehow, still be saved.
