Vision of the Future
Art by Helene Delmaire Shrivelled roots attached to trees Perpetually bald and gaunt frowns Hollow logs that whisper agonising Moans of age long gone Still photosynthesising against The will of their ghosts Barren animal carcasses litter the street No plants left to colonise rancid husks Pungent smells permeate the air and Scream for their lost souls Eerie cries for species Mother Earth once knew As for men – A kind of Leprosy consumes their Arms, legs, gorging out their eyes Empty torsos desperately search for life But it’s better this way. It’s better this way. *** Disclaimer: I use my platform to write whatever is on my mind and my opinions may differ from yours.
