If we don't destroy

If we don't destroy

A Poem by Lorna
"

The world would be better off without us.

"
If we don't destroy, we nurture,
Yet we destroy what we nurture,

We destroy the bond that holds us into the form of life,
We destroy the lives that form the bond,

We murder the harrowing echo that begs us to stop,
We ignore the painful plea and we chose to ruin.

Tell me. If this is life, and if life should live. Why am I right, And why are you wrong?
There is a shadow in the distance, the fields are burning, red flames of joy,
Why joy? Why relish in the destruction? Beacause we were the destroyers.

The tree's that sing songs of anger, will sing songs of revenge. Watching as we persish, as we should...

This is not something I would normally write, not my usual structure, I wasn't out of my comfort zone writing it however.

Wow. I am not disappointed at all after seeing your words. Combined with these words and having come to know you over the last couple of weeks I can see you have something very special inside of you. We fear being different because we just look too odd trying to walk the walk or dance the dance of stereotype and expectations & social integration's. You will find your power, you will find your balance and you will find faith in the person that you are when you learn to step aside from the relentless march of normality and conformity. Be yourself as you are amazing and beautiful.

An interesting topic here, nicely written. One or two grammatical errors noted but I like the flow of it and it's good sometimes to write in a different style.

Excellent. Very eloquent in your deconstruction of our destruction that will lead to our demise. It's the one lesson we always fail to see, the planet can live without us, we cant live without it. beautiful words Lorna
