Thoughts on a Hazy Summer Morning

  1. I haven't written any poetry for a while, but I'd love to hear some feedback (positive or negative doesn't matter)

    A cloud of hazy mist rises from the forest
    A sleepy summer morning can sometimes be the hardest
    Attempting to relieve suffering but continually discovering humans are garbage
    Why can't we all grow our own soulful fruit and harvest?
    Why must we focus on dollar signs and unaffordable charges?
    While waiting hours in traffic to maintain our gardens?
    Why must nature be destroyed for overpopulation? My wistful soul hardens
    The sound of hopeless trees dropping can be heard in forests
    Emotionally senseless masses guided deceptively like tourists

    Hours of meditation can teach us much about ourselves
    Appreciate simplicity, having clean water that runs through wells
    Human suffering is random and curses billions like evil spells
    Craving beauty and books hidden on forgotten shelves
    Many die nameless, less notice is taken to these humans than Americans pay attention to happy little elves


    This society makes mechanized automatons out of Good Men
    So focused on a hot meal, the poverty stricken often end up doin' life in the pen
