The World So Blue
I soar above the heavens, now,
yet, still I feel so sad, somehow.
For as I'm gazing down at earth,
I fear mankind has lost its worth—
Â
Our planet looks so blue from here,
the skies are cloudy, dark—unclear.
I'll shed a tear, one single drop,
hopeless heartache; pray it stops—
Â
My spirit's left its mortal shell;
I'm bound for heaven, maybe hell?
I won't be here to see the pain,
humanity's crying falls like rain...
Â
Kids stay indoors, miss so much fun;
before they know it, summer's done.
All that sunshine—gone to waste;
Xbox games more to their taste—
Â
We don't trust strangers anymore,
just cower in fear behind closed doors.
Old man on the streets, we'll surely pass;
assessments have never been so crass.
Â
Homeless lie dying in our streets,
babies with not enough food to eat,
children with moms, however, no dad...
Where is the happiness we once had?
Â
As I fly high beside sil'vry moon
I observe a tear-filled, blue balloon.
From high up here, I can tell you true—
I have never seen the world so blue...

Thanks so much again for taking the time to read and comment on my poetry, WhisperingDream.
We live on such a beautiful planet and should be taking better care of it.
After all, it's the only home we have.
Yet, there is so much pain and heartache...
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Brilliant social commentary Dean. Today's kids miss so much in their IT chained world, too busy looking at their phones to look up and see the blue sky or look down to see the flowers coming through. Or even to have conversations and create a new friendship or too outside of their cyber world. It's a beautiful planet we live on. Ru x
