soul log

Home [the inspired poem]

Once, where there was hope, there was happiness.
There was peace, elegance, and beauty.
All around us, there were stunning clouds and exotic views.
Once, there was.

Where birds eagerly twittered, we were optimistic.
With every cry of laughter and song of joy,
we thought to ourselves with quiet chuckles,
“what a wonderful world this is!”

As the world evolved, we began to realize
that everything wasn’t good.
We didn’t try to fix what we had broke,
a fatal and drastic mistake.

The temperature rose, the species died,
as the people of the Earth grew.
And now some finally think to ourselves,
what have we done?

Once, where there was hope, there was happiness.
There was peace, elegance, and beauty.
All around us, there were stunning clouds and exotic views.
Once, there was.
