Choked up
By Maria B

It's a small world, I know.
Yet not big enough to soak,
-In the water we provide,
but instead choked up by the smoke.
Suffocated, squeezed till full, tears will always dry,
Yet acknowledge that what we do today
will never say Goodbye.
You may take the time to rally,
But that never stops a war,
Mother Earth is struggling,
Yet she never asks for more.
Our future, well, we’re fine.
But screens will 'imitate'
Killer robots and artificial workers
Would make far fewer mistakes
So go to sleep and wake up,
happy for a new day,
But ill reassure you, I’ll be kind;
It's already too late.
