Dear whomever this letter corresponds to,
I see the fires from Florida
I see the uprisings from Florida
I see the repercussions occurring because of lack of humane care
And I wonder
How?
Why?
Is this the end?
Or is this merely the beginning of what is going to be the end?
Maybe this was all conspired from a source of evil and morbidity
Maybe it wasn’t and people are just ignorant to their hostility.
Note how I say “maybe”
I’m no deity, I’m no-one retrospectively
So why would I care?
So why do I care?
Well although I am no-one
That doesn’t mean I was born to none
I begun
And I’ve outdone
Yet I still feel like “no-one”
Care for some, how about the sun?
Would you care for the sun if the sun were your son?
You never fail to stun
The battles and the guns
The trees are turning numb
Yet you still think you’ve won
Now I’m not trying to attack you
For I don’t even know who you are
But when I refer to “you”
I mean all of you
All the ones who share the same mindset
That is who I’m referring to
This is something that we all knew
Not something that was made new
But it is still true
The trees are turning a hue of gray
The trees are turning numb
Everyone is starting to decay
Everyone is turning glum
But you still think you’ve won.
Sincerely,
Everyone other than all of you

- Comment from author about the poem: Okay, so this is a poem I actually wrote in 2020 during the COVID pandemic and lockdowns AND during the time when the California wildfires were at an all-time high. This is directed to the conspiracy theories at the time that claimed that Cali fires were provoked by satellite lasers, and then there's the more logical one which is that certain conspirators were intentionally igniting the forests. This is also for the theories that claimed Chinese scientists began the COVID-19 virus in order to gain an upper hand over America. Now reflecting on 2022 and what's currently going on in the world (like the whole Ukraine tragedy) I feel it's fitting to post this. When will change occur? 😔

This is a fine and splendid work
Summing up the disasters that are wrecking our life
Which still continue to plague our life
You didn’t miss even a single one
I hope this ends soon
Yes, me too. Life seems to be unbearable and it might be that we're approaching the end, with global warming and all the chaos going on. It seems pretty dark, but hopefully the light will start to shine. We can only hope. Thanks for the comment, have a great day!
You have most accurately penned this letter to YOU. I wonder sometimes if entropy will become the natural state of our existence, when we've used up all the energy of life. Our future is already there , we make it every minute of every day, we just lack the vision to see it. Ignorance can be cured through education, if the ignorant are willing to learn. But as the saying goes, there's no cure for stupid, especially when it is worn as a badge of honor. A great intuitive, thought provoking piece, Kudos to you!
Hi Bella! It's always nice to hear from you, and your sage words are very true. Disorder seems to be our permanent abode, and everything else is redundant. Sadly, many people are feeding into this chaos. If only we can promote a society that'll grow as a community but also as a world, because at the end of the day we only have each other. Thanks for your keen reply, have a lovely day!
Wow! A brilliant poem that would resonate with every reader.
Thanks for the words Rozina, I pray for better days in every country. During these hard times it could be easy to lose the hope, but all we can do is push on. Have a great day!
A brilliantly penned piece Rocky. If only the evil ones could understand that if the world goes up in flames, so do they. 🤔
Very wise words dear poet. The conspirators don't recognize that the global chaos they're provoking will end up backfiring on themselves. All we can do is raise awareness and do our part in the fight for peace. Thanks as always for your generous remarks and have a lovely day!
The Californian fires, like the Australian fires, usually started deliberately by fools who don't understand the speed of fire.
We're living in strange times, and it seems like the loonies are running the asylums now.
Talk about it. It's chaotic and unprovoked. It's like some people want to see the world fade, pretty sad times we're living in. I just hope global warming won't destroy us all so we can at least attempt to repair our disorder. Thanks for the comment, much appreciated! Stay safe!
