Poem written by Me: In the Midst of it All

In the Midst of it All The world keeps changing everyday filled with anger, greed, judgement and despair Looking out to the horizon nature continues with no delay The Earth renews itself  in whatever method it will use so it can continue What lives in it some will vanish but others will remain In the midst of it all the Earth will recycle even if we try to destroy it,  destroying first so as it was intended to do so The wonders may change yet the beauty will always remain Birds will fly and sing even though it’s size and colors may change Rain will fall to nourish the Earth which it has accepted how it might not be clean Stronger living beings will flourish adapting to the changes Flowers will bloom but the smells will change Animals will roam but their appearances will not allow captivity In the midst of it all nature adapts to the cruelty it has been given and shown The Earth was given as a gift to it’s occupants yet humans’ desires forgot that point Lands were taken even if the awar
