Planet Earth Poem by Linda A

i look up to a black universe
then down at dirty bare feet
there must be nothing worse
than feelin the darkness inside of me
i didn't think much of it at first
but I soon was thinkin constantly
cause the sun shines down on earth
and I am too blinded to even see
my entire beings immersed
in shadows of some fantasy
so with the emptiness I converse
and in my pain i conceive
and in this pain i give birth
to all i know and believe
like how each grain of sand and dirt
is also in me-when i sweat or bleed
there's no quenching my thirst
i have just enough of what l need
and no more-poverty in the multiverse
is strange as dark dawns-as bittersweet
as my struggle, my heavens curse
incarnations are facades of mortality
and whats real will never die or disperse
but i'm clearly in the wrong galaxy
