Suffocation

My forty-fifth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena

By Mike Singleton ๐Ÿ’œ Mikeydred Published 3 years ago โ€ข 1 min read

This is my forty-fifth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena.

I'll go again with the villanelle form for this one (I did for forty-four)

This developed into an ecologically themed poem so the music I have chosen is "Beds Are Burning" by Midnight Oil from the album "Diesel and Dust". We need politicians like Peter Garrett

One Day There'll Be No Air To Breathe

And Then We All Will Suffocate

We All Will Die, It's Plain To See

The Atmosphere Degenerates

And Then We All Will Suffocate
