Night clouds

The night clouds move,
I see the stars,
So very far apart from ours,
Are we alone?,
Is there more?,
What comes after?,
What came before?,
Questions burning in the brain,
I feel as if I am insane,
I feel a constant inner pain,
I feel humanity's to blame,
I feel so much for mother earth,
I feel her sorrow, sadness, hurt,
I see the loss of many things,
Species now but distant dreams,
Toxicity in rivers and streams,
Rainbows rising from the steam,
As light beams down on a broken world,
On broken boys and broken girls,
With broken lives and broken hearts,
When does it end?,
When did it start?,
Everything we tear apart,
From ocean bottom to mountain top,
The destruction seems so hard to stop,
We attack our plants,
Our rocks...,
Building cities on natures face,
Ego grows,
We forget our place,
What must we see?,
When will we learn?,
Men watch entire countries burn...
