The end of the world.

I’m content being a bird
Maybe now my voice can be heard
I spread my disheveled wings and fly
Fly through the barren sky
My black eyes scan the dark horizon
Only to find no rising sun
My world is a desolate place
No one to recognize my face
I want to take a brake and rest
But I must not stop this quest
I have found my home it’s where I belong
It’s where I can sing my song
I sing my awareness of what’s to come
But to them my tone is only a gentle hum
Time goes on and my voice grows weak
I must find someone to take my place and speak
But it’s too late
All I can do is wait
I sit in a tree and watch it all
As the world begins to fall
I see a baby who wears a mask of despair
To him how is this ending fair
There must be a way to stop this
And put an end to this madness
But what can I say
It’s an inevitable day

This piece is full of despair. It's written extremely well and once again your imagery is amazing. Ggggreat job.

I love reading the initial 'hope' turn into a bleak snowball of despair.. faster and faster as the end of the poem was arriving the snowball caught speed until inevitable arrived. I love it.. particularly because you use a symble that usually is used for freedom and gave it a curious change. Great stuff..

Seems to be about hope, and how there are those who just want to give up.
A bystander's point of view, you want to help someone, a complete stranger, but you can't, either because you could be too afraid to, or just sometimes people have to figure things out for themselves.

I especially like the beginning line, "I'm content being a bird" it shows that maybe we're just not ready to take a stand and make a change, we'd rather just stay right where we are, where we're at our most comfortable.

Dear Jamie,

A poem of despair and hopelessness. The demise of the world (a least a caring world). Yes, how is this fair to the innocent?

Nicely penned.

Best regards,

Rick
