Burning Away

What have we done

The warmth of light, fossil fuel

Burning away the ice caps

Polar bears forced to swim for their lives for food until they are skinny as bones

Dying constantly

But who caused this

Us

Humans

  • Fading away

    Washed up

    Swept away

    The rhyme of life

    In

    Out

    In

    Out

    Lulling you to a sweet sleep

    Inside your own world

    Your own ocean

    In

    Out

    The constant change
  • So Far Above

    I wished I was like them

    The ones that seemed so far above me

    Like even if I climbed the highest mountains

    Flew up above the clouds

    Even reached the far stretches of space

    I would still never reach them
  • Whispers

    You can’t always hear the whisper
    But it’s always there
    It’s easy to go too fast
    Not care about things that aren’t always right there screaming in your face
    But if you slow down
    If you take a step back
    If you listen closely
