The ravens have all drowned

I told them not to swim

But would they listen

When I said that a boat was a better idea

 

The people are all singing

They swallowed their tongues

When they saw the daybreak

And now they cannot stop

The incessant chanting

That falls from their lips

 

The mountains are all crumbling

They say they’ve had enough

Of the bubbling anger

Of the molten rock

That shifts restlessly below

 

Hearts are bleeding

They say they’ve been badly broken

I suggested Duck tape

Now they say they’re on strike

 

The sky is falling

An issue of love apparently

Tells me it won’t be separated from

The ground

 

The mud is rebelling

Says it can’t stand the grass

I told it it didn’t need to

The grass would stand

And the mud just had to lie

At its feet

Now the flowers are dying

Some problem with the soil

 

I’m sitting in the dark

Reading the dictionary

Some problem with the mind

They whisper

I just roll my eyes

And they squeal as though

I've just proved their point.

Funny little piece. It made me smile. I like the way you made non-talking things, seemed like they could actually talk and reason out. More than that, I do like their reasoning. It's just so hilarious. An issue of love between the sky and the ground? What a shallow way to end the world. Geez, you've got some humor. Good read. Good Job.

Keep Writing. ^___^
