ENVIRONMENTAL Poem: Looming Doom, by Luna Gallegos

We burn along our strange green planet
Warmer and warmer the streets singe
Above us, an impending doom gleams
It reaches a hand down
We believe it will only ever loom
Still, it is there, and it will appear
Hope dims to the trees that sing
Summers reach heights to the winters that freeze
Everything becomes a far away dream
Fading away into its own esteem
Seeds of a pomegranate tree dig within our earth
Achingly awaiting to grow in vain
Like a curious cat, I sit watching it try to bloom
It’s all we can to while waiting to be consumed
