this was inspired by one of the pics shared by amaryn. Its one of a graffiti face on a wall where disaster has happened.

The world watched its self burn
From the cruelty of man
No easing of the pain
Soon as it began

The world looked around
And couldn't believe what she could see
The world was in ruin
How could this be?

Could not take it any more
Couldn't cope with the upheaval
She closed here eyes tight
So she could see no more evil

She listened intently
To the screams and the cries
To the men shouting orders
To the men telling lies

Her mind is a mess
With the folks tongue hissin’
Raises her hands to here ears
So she doesn't have to listen

Now she oblivious
To the world we are now
We cause her much pain
She has no time for our vow

Listen to the wind
The rain and the snow
No words in the air
Where there was long ago

You're welcome, Trueperfectionsimperfect! Indeed, that picture is a staggering one, the place in the Ukraine one of the shame spots on Earth
Thanks for putting it in your own words.
Sometimes pictures can be a source of inspiration, I find. You obviously do too!

aye it really is, when looking at it all i could imagine was the face been the world or mother nature and then the 3 signs of see no evil hear no evil and speak no evil and the out come was this poem. Thanks for the inspiration

This is very good,although I getting tired of this subject.This could be a great tune,if you used the third stanza for the chorus.Like I said this is good,one of the few that's worth reading again and again.
