Imploding Heart

Today I feel the pain of the world

My heart wants to implode

My mind wants to explode

River of tears down my throat.

If I could save this planet

Of ill fate I would too

Destruction on its own

Pretending is not true.

If every human looked

Deep down its soul

And searched for truth

The kind that never fades.

The burden seems so heavy

Why, I don’t understand

But planet and humanity

Are in my heart at once.

If I could see the future

A glimpse of what’s to be

My heart would implode twice

And maybe ceased to ache.

Of future and reality

My mind is filled today

Of Earth and flesh beneath the veil

The Universe in pray.

You are a very caring person, Marie. This really shows through this beautiful piece. If only more of us cared more the planet might not be in such a state. Well done.

Time is running out on us. We may not survive but the planet will. And once we are gone the planet will prosper again.

Ease up, girl. The plague of the planet and humanity combined is too much for one person to shoulder. Your poem is well written and describes the kind of friend Earth and the rest of us have in you.

You have beautifully expressed your pain and connection for the world. The world will solve its own problems eventually…:)

It’s something that should be on everyone’s mind. We need to straighten up in a hurry.
