Till Death Do Us Part

The trees, the ocean
Have set life to motion
And years of this play
Have but fashioned the day
But in retrospect
Have we seen
Have we met

Do we mend what was broken
Take warnings as token
Don't we know what has passed
Knowing this cannot last
All the damage now done
Was it all just good fun
Was it worth all the while
To demolish and smile
Does death have to be
Part of life every mile

Is there time yet to turn
Have we trees left to burn
Can there be peace on earth
Is there time left to learn?

a very plesant read with several important questions that everyone needs to answer. the rhyming sounded natural and the poem flowed along nicely
