A World of Colour

A world of color 

All on my own, embraced in nature.  

I run, taking sight of flaring scarlet azaleas, opening out to the world. 

Ocean blue petals, dancing in the wind,  

Accompanied by a silent willow, a jungle of green. 

The nature of the wild, howling, breathing through the earth. 

I continue to walk, closing my eyes and breathing in the scenery. 

Then I see. 

Huge hulking machinery, pumping out gaseous fumes. 

The ground shakes, great machines hewing trees without hesitation. 

Trees fall around me. 

I shout for them to stop, but they cannot hear me.  

What good will one voice do?
