Purple red pink roses without form Skies blood red with tainted grey hues Paving stitches over roadways to cover the tears in the landscape Painting buildings to cover the old bones beneath Blackened ocean waters foam with sick dying cells of lifeless creatures A sewage smell hovers over the coast lines from time to time Trees you lean on and they snap like dried twigs under the weight Fragile mother earth we swore to protect She does not need protection from us We do need protection from her Purple red pink roses without form written by: Derrick A Jasper 12/27/2015
