The wind whispers its secrets - to those who wish to hear <br />The willow dances silently - shivering in fear <br />As things that were predictable – replace the things we know <br />The questions and their answers - lie in a quid quo pro <br /> <br />While no one was watching - the lemmings formed a line <br />Marching up the mountain - not noticing the climb <br />Each in turn they take the step - leaping to the sea <br />Acting without forethought – a human destiny <br /> <br />The wind screams out in horror – churning in the skies <br />The willow stands a hollow shell – weeping as it dies <br />Everything that might have been – is lost to human greed <br />The Earth a vacant wasteland – a chilling thought indeed <br /> <br />© 2010 JVD<br /><br />Jane Van Doe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lemmings-lemmings-lemmings/
