Into the future I take a peep,
in the garden as I walked,
appeared a strange black opening,
my tear dimmed eyes peeping,
for, into the future I take a peep.
The world became black, as the sun went cold,
the moon lost it's light, the trees their green,
all that I saw was a dark blank world,
with not even the Lords, to save us from this curse.
Nobody survived, not even the trees,
for we were quite using it for our needs,
I dare not to look, I was so afraid,
I just walked away, my heart still cold.
I thought about this incident, all day all night
I couldn’t sleep; I had such a fright,
what to do? That was my question,
a hole in the Ozone.
That is enough,
have to start recycling, it is my mission
I recycled, I took care,
I didn’t allow trees to be chopped
The people too were good enough,
they agreed to me and did what is the best,
thought that there couldn’t be another vision,
it just came to me,
it was the same, just like before
but this time it was a white shinning opening.
So, into the future I took a peep again,
the world was filled with light so bright,
the water is glowing,
the world is green again.
People lived in peace, brought out the good in them,
the birds always chirped a melodious song,
I felt the world was safe,
at least for now,
just hope there won’t be another dark black opening.

Beautiful write.There is solution to all problems. But one must develop scientific attitude and problem solving mind then alone demons can be fought.Narration and rhyming scheme is appealing :)
Great poem I was able to picture the dark world you described in your poem :) great poem and great message :) ! !
I can diffantly see this poem being publised, like when they use different people speaking out on TV in saving the world. Coming from a view point from a youth will diffiantly make an impression on all to see that each one of us can do our part. The real solution of course will never be Totally through man, but through God's promise of the Bible.
i know you so talented so keep move it nice work meriam i love it
Every thing is as you said. And growing older will unfold, and help you fill the world, with things as yet unsaid....iip
Terrific write, left with a feeling of wanting more of the great story. It also gives on the opportunity to make choices to help keep the water glowing and leaving the trees green.

I would like to translate this poem
its sometimes good to notice the evil and disarray rather than always pay attention to a same genre of poems. this was different and dark but later came the light. you put yourself in an altered dimension where no one cared enough until you made them realize the world needs saving. well done!
