Fake Stars

Stars now hang from tall stands of metal

Exotic animals are deer

Flowers are bread to have the prettiest petals

Is nothing sacred?

Is nothing natural?

Has the world been too filled

with crime and hatred?

The stars that supposedly dominate the sky

Will I ever see them?

Or only the ones

that come from airplanes, flying with the birds' eye

The animals of the world

silently mourn

the loss of all that is green

and replaced with gold

and the loss of many

of their brothers unseen.

Plant life, once natural and free

has been changed to be

uniform, and what we want to see

The world, green and blue

filled with life and prosperity

has been altered to a different hue

and now natural things

are a rarity.

Author's Note

it's okay...

I love it! It speaks the truth. We need to open our eyes and see what we are doing to our once perfect world.
