earth turned bald
sky scrapers loom bold
waste hideously piled
toxins profusely spilled
nature cruelly defiled
we stand greatly appalled!

May we live to see the oceans finally cleaned (as those enormous pumps already are doing a great job) , and forests deforested replaced by new trees planted, and the plastic finally decomposed by those worms created in the laboratories. A great poem on the Environmental Day!

The countenance of the earth and the face of that shocked observer, both contort. I hope for the later it is because of the realization of what has been going on. This is one of your finest verses, Valsa.

i feel with this poem, valsa. and as you seem to suggest, the most depressing scenes of filth and waste are in our cities. i don't know what else to say except to acknowledge this reality. before it i don't know how else to pray except, Your kindgom come, Your will be done. and i try to have a small footprint. -glen
