Everyone Has A Problem
The wind howls
For what it lost
The trees cling together
So they don’t fall short
The sun shines
Its black heart
The moon watches
From afar
The dirt welcomes
Countless others
The oceans swallow
Their flawed pride
You and I
Stand at the edge
Everyone else
Falls right in
The world turns
Its weary head
The universe realizes
It’s so empty
For what it lost
The trees cling together
So they don’t fall short
The sun shines
Its black heart
The moon watches
From afar
The dirt welcomes
Countless others
The oceans swallow
Their flawed pride
You and I
Stand at the edge
Everyone else
Falls right in
The world turns
Its weary head
The universe realizes
It’s so empty

How deliciously bleak.
Although the wind howl and the sun shine have been used countless times before... If you manage two new verbs, that would push this poem higher, further.

wow, I love love this. I feel like it'd sound nice as a song too :) this is wonderful, I was just thinking the same after I watched World War Z...how ashamed must our universe must feel toward our race..

We're just a speck, Miranda. Just a little speck in this infinite universe, and it treats us as such. On the bright side, I haven't seen WWZ yet. Was it good?
