Writing in The Dark

The New World

By Keith McHughPublished 12 months ago 1 min read
"The Great Divide" 11'x14' acrylic by; Keith McHugh

A world full of discord,

Awaiting its fate.

Afraid to move forward,

Fearing it's too late.

The present was ignored,

Living out of date.

Our environment explored,

Destroying the substrate.

Earth our umbilical chord,

Life learns to migrate.

Searching across the board,

For an unexplored state.

Extractingf its reward,

Taking all that's great.

Leaving the world floored,

We begin to mutate.

Humanity a slum lord,

Treating their world with hate,

The reason for the discord,

Within our mental state.

Claim your place in the world,

Use you power to activate,

Let your hope be restored,

It's never too late,

Climb aboard,

A whole new World.
