an ode to a lost humanity

as i sit here alone filled with melancholy
i ponder on about time and things passing
i wonder of world passing through time
things have changed
time changes everything
i wonder as life it passes
we grow we change we ponder
life continues on its inevitable passage through childhood, puberty and adulthood
the earth it follows, its cries screaming out
why it screams why it screams

the answer hangs in the air think and dank with an amber fading light
existence, humanity it cries
why why why
we torture the world around us, ignoring the screams
are we deaf, can we not hear the world crying around us
the pain, the tears, the dust, the smoke
a society in flames and tears
why i ask
why
the human nature
why have we lost our touch with nature, humanity and those around us
a tear wells up inside me
tears for lives, and nature gone
what for a piece of paper
paper representing that which we deem as wealth
why
is it that important
we lose our touch we lose our existence, yet we plod along as humans, why the tears of our run deep furrows into its dry and cracking skin..
why I ask
Why
