I long for a flourishing earth,
Unharmed by human mirth.
A place where nature rests,
And stops weeping unheard protests.

I dream of a water pure,
Untainted by cloudy smears.
Sparkling with life and glee,
And discernable from dismissed debris.

A scene where plants grow unbound,
Trees unafraid of being downed.
Not a kingdom of stumps,
That are lost in cities and dumps.

My mind sees these dreams,
Of a paradise that faraway gleams.
But my eyes see a bane,
Filled with approaching misery and pain.

I see the world fall before me,
Birds dying with a perishing tree.
I see this occur before me,
But I stand still in this purgatory.

People scream to end this rot,
Others sleep in their stolen plot.
Shifting blame to foreign men,
Leaving aches to the future then?

But a day I wake to a new world come,
A world without water or plants or plums,
I see the new land I inherited,
The result of my own conceitedness.
