Desolate Earth

Image born group

Black damaging smoke swirls in the red sky
Thick and bellowing overtaking the air
Sucking out the oxygen, the earth does cry
Eyes can only look upon with glassy stares

Engulfing orange flames spring up from the ground
Chard sand blazing, desolate beyond repair
Crackling, with sorrowful mourning sounds
As destruction blazes with a consuming flair

Rock formations left to the fiery pits of hell
Chard beyond recognition, crumbling down
Sulfuric odor swirls around, a gagging smell
Devastation left, vanishes in flames, a town

War destroys all that its greedy fingers touch
Leaving burned, crumpled ruins in its path
is different opinions worth hating this much?
Desolating the earth because of human wrath

Hell fire and brimstone...this is a dark and desolate picture you painted, but I guess that was the point. Very vivid images painted here, it has me sweating after reading it. As always nice work, I still have to write mine for the group, it gets harder with all the talent in the group these days.

This is excellent hon! Great for the image and could stand alone too!
Wonderfully done!
The last stanza sums it up nicely, powerful!

. brutally beautiful ... it's a rock solid black eye for all the ideological fascists ... and you said it brilliantly ... "is different opinions worth hating this much?" ... that's really the crux ... and i learnt lots from how compact this write is ... poetic, powerful, powerfully expressive ... and hard-hitting ...

The imagery was horrible (in that the pictures were upsetting) and thats a good thing. This was a very good, well thought out poem.

I am seeing a pattern here on this site, people, myself included, seeing that unless we drop our differences and unite as one human race, things are only going to get worse. Great job on this.
