"This is our world as we know it"

[ellz483]

This is how the world breathes:
Heavy and even, ebbing away stardust
Expelling gusts so strong, chilling
The universe shivers

This is how the world sleeps:
Pulling across the blanket of darkness
Sewing together pockets of sun
The night spreads

This is how the world hates:
Without reason or motive
In chains, in cells, in schoolyards
A child cries

This is how the world loves:
Passionately, like waves kissing shore
Forces of nature, fire lusting earth
The flowers grow

This is how the world dies:
Choked in the black from factories
Pocked, cracked, scarred from wars
By the human hand

This is how we are:
Imperfect, scattered across maps
Our actions pulse like footsteps
Forever coloring this world.
