Poem written on Sunday, January 23, 2011 at 8:41pm
If I remember it correctly, my ex-boyfriend needs to pass 5
poems about certain topics. And on our conversation, he happened to have asked
for my help. Being the willing victim girlfriend that wants to make her
boyfriend happy, I obliged and wrote a poem about the topic "nature".
But to make the long story short, in the end, he did not use
this. And thus, the irony is not lost on me: what a befitting title.
Forgotten and Forsaken
I have been walking endlessly
In this land full of misery
I hadn’t known the Earth would be
This lonely without any glee
I forced my eyes to see
What beauty has forsaken me
Rivers that are brown
Made my head go with a frown
Trees are cut mercilessly
By the machines effortlessly
I hear them crying saying no more
But the people just continued just like before
The love of Mother Earth has turned blue
Her sadness is felt without any clue
Is this her revenge
for everything we’ve done?
I wish time would return to do things undone
The hotness is felt by everyone in this place
The ice is melting leaving no trace
This indeed is global warming
That happened without any warning
Of course we deserved this
Since we’re occupied with our own bliss
Being very happy, you and me
Forsaking nature by means of technology
