There is fog across the ground <br />As I stare out past the glass <br />I staunch out a cigarette <br />And stare down at the ash <br />Words falling from my fingers <br />Onto a clear white page <br />Worn from erasing <br />All the thoughts from this age <br />Such horribly troubled times <br />Befalling this old earth <br />Many choose to ignore it <br />And others to cover it with mirth <br />Yet you cannot hide pollution <br />You cannot cover up war and plague <br />Peace has become yet a vision <br />And that vision has grown vague <br />So I write this poem <br />I write it with all my heart <br />Hoping that some beauty <br />Can keep this world from falling apart<br /><br />Tatianna Rei Moonshadow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beauty-in-a-world-so-torn/
