Hey guys, its Lydia here! This is another poem for my creative writing homework. Even though this poem is quite angry and violent, I had a lot of fun writing it. Hope you enjoy it, leave me a comment and give our blog a follow.
I am
dying. Choking on old decaying blood.
While men below create pointy spears, to
breathe blue and grey ash.
The
sticky tar desolates my air and corrupts my lungs.
Forever
living in smog.
What
have I done to deserve this?
My
children will never feel the rain, nor know sunlight.
Thousands
upon thousands, burnt, mutilated, dead.
Their
skin peeled away, revealing bare green bone.
Left
now only empty holes of innocent echoes.
You
stole their existence, and condensed them to nothing.
There
is an eagle, forever lost and flying with the wind.
Searching
for a home. There is none left.
All
gone, all stripped bare.
Her
wings reluctant with exhaustion.
She
is falling, plummeting.
Drowned
in lashings of toxic waves.
I am
sweating, burning from inside out.
This
scorching devours north and south.
Bringing
helpless massacre and carnage in my wake.
Only scraps and heaps left in revenge.
If I
will perish, you will perish with me.
You use some really powerful language in here to great affect, crafting a really effective poem
