Contrast From Two Worlds pt.2A Poem by aimless_wandererread contrast from two worlds pt.1 before this one
Water, H2O is the only thought that runs through your mind as you lie
down in the vast open dune the sun is beating down on you letting you fry as if you were hovering above a burner within a skillet you try and try to keep moving, but all in vain for your struggle leaves you with a cry. The scavengers circle above your heat-strained mass waiting until your chest stops moving, and your body stops struggling to pass this wretched land which holds a strong burning grip on your soul which has taken all from you, leaving you to become specks of sand in a broken jar of glass. Your cold numb hands twist the jar ajar to discover a single dried peach it was your daily snack, and now its time to join your friends on the frozen beach to laugh and speak of girls who are out of reach who are probably swimming at a warm cozy beach picking from their legs a tiny leach but years have displaced you from your origin leaving you sun-baked with sand-dried tears streaking your face while sweat and grime have caked your entire body showing you a pile of mess, "why have i been forsaked!" You yell out into the empty wasteland for not a response could have been faked. Your jaw is less tight than it was for your thirst is not in taste as for your body the trembling has halted for you've lost the need for haste out of this terrible sun bleached sand dusted land gone to waste under the unbearable heat in which man has never faced His final days will be the hardest days to last for the icy snow seems to swirling around and around never to pass but thats okay for you wish the heat and cold would have clashed over your burnt breathless body which lies crisping into ash
