So this type of poem is considered spoken words on YouTube... I hope you like it!

Clouds.

A visible mass of condensed water vapor floating in the atmosphere, typically above the ground.

When you look at the clouds in the sky,
What do you see?
Do you see the beauty?
The beauty of how condensed water vapor
Could create something so beautiful in the sky?

Do you see the tree?
The tree that looks bigger than you and me?
Because it's in the sky, slowly floating...
Floating peacefully at ease.
With no cares in the world....
We believe it would be a breeze to live on these peaceful cloud trees,
But in reality, we would only see what we don't want to see.

Violence.
If we lived in those clouds we'd only hate humanity more than we already do.
In those trees we would see the black man with 3 kids getting shot at for his race.
A girl only 14, taking her first shot...

If we lived in those clouds we would see,
That it is not only you and me that feel like everyone has their eyes on you.
Constantly be watched by the popular girl with a lot to say about you.
Being critiqued by strangers who don't really know you...

If we lived in those clouds tees,
None of us would be at ease.
In fact, scientifically we'd all die from how freezing we would be...

Clouds.

A visible mass of condensed water vapor floating in the atmosphere, typically above the ground.

The ground.
I know we want to live in the clouds,
But I think it'll be best for you and me to keep our feet planted on the ground.

I know you don't want to but trust me.
It's the best thing for you and me,
You see enough madness on tv,
And it'll only make you feel worse about humanity...

But, that doesn't mean you can't watch the clouds...
Point out that one cloud shaped like a tree, as you watch it float from the ground.
