"What's Left Of This World"

 By: Khatoon Hazara

There's something dark inside those clouds that always float above us

Don't they seem ominous to you?

Maybe he is a spy!

As long as you are not afraid; I am not as well

There is rain falling on top of us from above; those clouds seem to enrage us, don't they?

The clouds are sprinkling us with adventure and danger; doesn't that sound exciting?

Maybe it is a trap!

He doesn't like us, does he; the rain?

There seems to be an error in the way the clouds were formatted

He can't be mad at us, can he?

Maybe it is a law and we are breaking it!

We could go to jail!

I don't want to go to jail; you will save me, won't you?

Wait a minute; if the clouds are mad at us, how do we cooperate ourselves in his faults?

It is not our fault he is mad, is it?

But what if it is our fault and we are just unaware of it?

We are in danger then!

Darling, won't you save me from my own insanity?

You see I am drowning in the pit of my depth

Yet... you are laughing

I... amuse you, don't I?

Look, the smile you give me is being reflected as you stare into my future with your eyes

You can see now, can't you?

I'm not exaggerating anymore, can't you tell?

Look up; the clouds are smiling and the sun is no where in sight above us; she's finally grown tired

The moon, however, came to see the show I am preparing for you when we get back

But... we're both having way too much fun out here; where the city lights blink endlessly

Aren't we?

I enjoyed reading.
Wonderful imagination.
The words flow nicely.

Awesome theme.
I get a sense of warning
or pleas to wake up and
prepare. Well written and
expressed. Thanks for sharing

We wonder if everything that is happening in the world is a sign of anger from up above
but the truth is

it is only a growth of older wrongdoings that surfaced
it was always there
but whenever evil rises too high

god reveals it
so humanity can see it

and steer away from it

i like this piece
i saw it in my own way

There is great truth between the lines here. I've read this twice thus far. Maybe it is the day for me, but I find this piece ominous, yet very titillating. Like hair standing straight.
