Can you see
By that field
Of hay
A gray
White
Sky.?

I believe it is
Our innocence
Tainted
By our
Restless sins

And over there
In that sad
Black sand
Are the depths
Of Tartarus
Traumatizing,
Don’t you think.?

Images of the future
Mother Earth
Is being destroyed
So much pain
So much death
Is this
What we want.?

This is very very good! I cant believe this is what you noticed just by looking outside. Sometimes I just wish I had the imagination and thoughts you have. What an amazing poem.
