While the Universe watches

Elephants trampling the young corn

With clouds as indifferent bystanders

My tears soaking new growth

That will never reach maturity

While the Universe watches

 

A double rainbow born of tears

Fades into the mountain

Leaving a vacuum of hopelessness

Over a sea of forgotten promises

While the Universe watches

 

Rose bushes murder the children

With thorns made of recycled war heads

And laments float precariously

On anger filled dead rivers

While the Universe watches

 

Prayers are lost in icy snowstorms

Hope is nestling with long dead dinosaurs

Happiness morphing into empty darkness

With love pulled like weed from the ground

The Universe had finally turned away
