PLANET AT STAKE

I do not qualify as an achiever

in any single field, art or literature

nor have student fan following 

I never was a teacher

I have no prefixes to my name

I have no laurels to claim

I have no godfather to push me

up the steep climb of success 

Merely writer, writing with passion

in every sense, a latecomer 

I write prose, poetry, reviews, stories

some hits, some misses 

nothing impactful 

nothing worth mentioning 

A Jack of all trades master of none

My imagination is always on the run

seeking hideouts, reading minds,

feeling my subject's pulse 

writing tuned to their rhythm 

holding the world in my palms

I'm merely a keen observer

holding the world in my palms

seeing decadence occur

try to decipher what malaise

afflicts their minds, 

what are their fears

why they don't understand

life on this planet, is at stake

try to build awareness

before it's too late
