Stair Poem (A World)

1

A world

that is spinning 

out of control and seems

to be getting worse by the day

and one that feeds constant division

so when will people finally wake up to

all that is going on around them and to whom

this involves and affected nonetheless in one way

or another as this world has become a very darkened version

Of itself as much light needs to shine through and overcome the shadows

  1. This is such a striking use of the stair poem form 🌍 Each line growing heavier really mirrors the feeling of the world’s weight building up. Glad it ends reaching for light rather than staying in the dark.

  2. Good use of the poetic form. The world definitely needs more light. We each can be the light in the spaces we occupy. Great poem.
