Broken Dreams Poem by Tony Adah

I am here looking
At the world reneging on its promises
Here where I claim my biome
I hardly find my niche fulfilled,
All those broken promises
Aggregating into our woes
Promises that never came to pass.

The trees shed tears crystalized
Into fallen leaves
Fruits are absent
And bird's nests devoid of eggs
They are shy, sore afraid to come to
Perch on the bough shriveled
And hardly able to take their weights

If I have to claim trees
My dream is a broken one
In that fruits, nuts, flowers and Nectar no longer belong to the world
And so too we that prowl and eke out
A living out of here will soon
Be be gone.
