The Sinking City of Venice

The Sinking City of Venice

A Poem by Kelsey Mclaren
"

The global warming’s impact in Venice, Italy.

"
In the orange like sunset does the storm reach the pier
In the glassy eyes of the children they await their end
In the thousand bridges running across the city
Does the underlying truth burry deep in the ocean

Small valleys and forever sailing boats
In the green river our soul keeps swimming
The reflection of the buildings carry on the surface
Will we all go under with a dive?
Not even the sweet taste of summer can save us now

In Atlantis ashes we become the same
In the brick buildings our fate ruins by the day
May the Gods throw the dice and choose our destiny
Will it be us, or our city?
