A changeable future
By Tehya H
The flowers no longer bloom
The leaves aren't there to fall
The bare trunks are torn up
To build another brick wall
The birds no longer sing
The rivers no longer run
Wildfires rage unchecked
With a heat as hot as the sun
We wonder how it came to this
How the Earth withered and died
Not thinking for a minute that we are to blame
When we fought, destroyed, and lied
For ash is a blanket across the landscape
Where once was pure white snow
But who will be there to curse our mistakes
When we sleep six feet below...
