Elucidating Questions

The sun disappeared behind a wall of grey,

The moon slipping down ablaze

When the grey cleared and the stars once more shone above,

Every light that could be seen was still present,

But had been missed regardless.

The face of the moon streaked out,

Far away the forests blazed

Set fire by the foolishness of us

If you think about it

It’s all man made

We pushed her this far,

Tick tock

Every second that passes is one less second to do something to save her

So many can’t, trapped in daily lives, consuming as if it can’t be stopped like a beast,

Pushing us closer to the cliff before the drop

So the fires blaze, the lightning strikes, the ocean rages, the slow

But always never silent

Throes of awakening the beast

With our own selfish efforts.
