The Lonesome Rock and other Poems and Shorts

Man Made World

We were flying

Soaring high above the clouds

Above all of the people.

Looking down

Through the black night

I saw the cityscape

Bright

Orange and yellow

A man made monster

Created by selfish people

That only wanted more

More money

More power

More more more

It was hideous

So much so that I felt despair in my

Heart

For this was my world to

I know that people want to do things

To make our lives easier

Better

But is this better?

Is only thinking about what

you can get out of something better?

I don't think so

So when we landed

And my mother commented on how beautiful

Flying at night is

I agreed

But deep down

I would rather fly during the day

When the blinding sun

Would disguise this man made world

Before my eyes.
