Here and There

AuburnScribbler

Here:

 

Here eight billion seeds were sown,

without the Earth’s permission,

where fleshling saplings; proudly grown

designed their lives; perdition,

 

treading surface water,

no attention to their roots,

shredding green with mortar,

killing all their fruits,

 

replacing blood with metal;

tin can; hollow pride,

but believe that it’s fine fettle

love life, is what’s lied,

 

for such a changeless jungle,

rehash their proud mistake,

as woe; is joy; their rumble,

thus, all their hope is fake!

 

There:

 

There is this heartwarm stream,

eight billion drops are flowing,

where unity is not a dream

just happy ripples growing,

 

that shimmer in the dark,

those nightmare fires gone,

pure example; finest mark;

a worthy line for song,

 

gentle cascades smile,

no division; cancels way,

for every single mile,

lights up a brighter day,

 

hence, foreign are the cries

just this family; to the Globe,

as great sea; does wash the lies

with it’s refreshing robe!

  • Comment from author about the poem: Hello everyone, I hope that all is well. Again, I apologise for another hiatus, but it is because of another rough patch, and I am still going through the motions of it all, but writing has, and will always play, a good part in the coping and healing of the ordeal. With that said, I give you this double poem entitled: Here and There. Here, is where I, and I think we all are, in terms of what is happening in the world, and There, is where I, and all of us hope to be. The accompanying banner picture I think is apt, as the girl on the dock represents the tiredness of humanity's folly, and the sea represents the cleansing that such a dire situation requires. I hope that you enjoy this double poem, I hope such woeful scenarios can improve, and as always, please do stay safe in the madness everyone.
