What a wonderful read, I think I am reading about catastrophe in the demise of our world, "As humans watch with insufferable indifference" as we do nothing to help or stop it, very well done, best wishes for your contest****kahpot

Lea,
This is a nice poem, but I am not catching the drift of what you are trying to get across. I'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes and this is one of those times.

Lea,
Ok, that makes sense now. I was tired and nothing was making sense at that point.

You're absolutely correct, man has headed far south in a time when everything has accelerated towards the end, and from following things and Israel the end is playing out exactly as in Old Testament prophesy, the present time reflects man's laboured existence in these last day, worse is to come, beautifully written, blessings Roy,

Hi Roy, yes, once again you hit the nail on the head! Absolutely in the writing's on the wall. It's unfortunate but I think it's too late. The damage is done. Awareness is all we can do and hope for the best. Thank you again, Roy for popping in. I'm always happy to see you. And your comments are always helpful.Thanks for your time to hope that you're evening is amazing!

Comment from Y. M. Roger
You have some wonderful imagery you've presented here... good job! ;) I would suggest that your over-use of the period at the end of the lines really throws off any 'flow' a reader can find moving through your descriptions... eliminating the periods and simply letting the 'end' of the line take care of your pauses would really lend more of a 'smooth flow' here... Thanx for sharing and best of luck in the contest! ;)

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Humans have the upper hand in the world and we can destroy nature with our uncaring methods. Your words are powerful here Lea and we hope that we can save all life from becoming extinct through greed and want. Much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Comment from CrystieCookie999
The line 'extinction blazes black' sounded very original to me. This poem made me think more of extinct animals as well as forests being destroyed. Some humans may be very indifferent to things being destroyed; we could all work on that.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
If anything can make us feel a bitter sense of regret and shame for our lack of care and respect for the environment, this fine verse will do just that. Your personification of that solitary tree clinging on to its crumbling foundations poignantly drives home our neglect. Your last stanza is superb in its imagery of the tree, its trunk weakened, a faded remnant of what used to be in abundance, now reduced to just one, while humanity is blinded to it demise. Well done, Lea and good luck! A strong and memorable contender! Debbie

When it comes to the environment it does seem humans don't care at all. I am sure God is shedding tears over what we've done. Thank you for sharing this contes entry with us. I enjoyed reading and wish you luck with the contest.
