Haikus of Change

 Merry sunshine smiles,

Kind distant stars twinkle clear

Happy gentle rain.

Buildings towering,

People thriving worlds apart -

Happiness always.

Bonded with nature,

Lush green forest full of life,

Crystal streams babbling.

Wearily, I stand.

Unto misery I see.

A catastrophe.

Toxic rivers flood,

Disasters damage daily.

Normal life is hell.

But what life is there?

When ecosystems are dead,

Nature’s balance gone.

Derelict structures,

Civilization ravaged.

Sadness, sickness, death.
