Sympathetic Stars
There’s no point in denying
Our cherished world is dying.
We’re choking it to death
With ill-considered breath
From factories and cars;
Soon sympathetic stars
Will weep at our demise
And curse our leaders’ lies.

And curse our leaders' lies"

responding?

Thanks, Uilleam. Yes, the link worked and it is brilliant, if rather unnerving!
Flyntland - yes, in spite of COP 26, 27 etc, no one can admit that uncontrolled growth is not sustainable.
Thanks, John. I wanted to write something on the environment theme for National Poetry Day. I realise it is has a feeling of despair and I usually like to leave a bit of hope in my verse. But sometimes......
And thanks to Frederick, Holden, Tom, Nigel, Uilleam, Julie, Jock and Purplemoon for reading and liking this one.
