Blue Skies! And Lies?

Global Warming and the direction of the developing future of society.

Blue Skies! And Lies?

Smoke and fog
drift to the clouds
where they are combined
in a heavy shadow
to cover the world in
a blanket of self-pity;
of self-doubt

Children will be told
tales of a blue sky once existing
a sky that once enlightened lives
with its lemon drop sun
and trails of cotton candy clouds

Oh, the world was once warm
the sky was once a pearling blue
the grass was once green
and the children once laughed.

I like your writing style...though the content...well, let's just say I would have to debate with you on the "global warming" issue. But, I like your writing style and I thought it was very good.

A thoughtful piece. I like your descriptions of the sun and clouds, it gives a bright cartoonish feeling to your topic. A odd but intriguing mixture that seems to enhance rather than detract from your warning.

[Deranged Kiwi]

Excellent word choice used throughout the piece. I like that you chose a topic out of the norm. A sad but important topic. I agree with Red_Queen, however... your title could be stronger. Again, excellent work and I hope you continue to write. Welcome to WC.

The only problem i have with it is the title.

it's a bit weak and come on now we know you can do better then that.

I thank you for writing about such an important and yet tragic topic. The vision you paint is one that has a ring of truth to it, and that scares me. I hope and i pray that people wake up and see just how important of an issue this really is...
Thank you for sharing! :)

Nice choice of subject matter. Very heavy. Love you're description too. Especially "with its lemon drop sun
and trails of cotton candy clouds"

I want to live in that world.
