Art By Harry Mullan
Desolate empty world
void of  beauty
a lonely bird
with no wish to sing
a single blooming flower
is it the last
no more to be seen
a barren tree
forlorn of life
waiting to crumble
sitting on dead ground
growth non-existent
an empty river
poisoned beyond repair
is this our future
is this the end
man-kinds legacy.
The picture above is my first try at art.
Harry the combination of these two is fabulous. I love this poem on its own but combined with your artwork its just so powerful. Your first attempt is great, I love it. And we are heading that way faster than we think. Why dont we wake up?!
Thanks Christine, because the two great powers do not want to know, painting done on my PC 🙂
I love the artwork, Harry. Your poem has a very profound message we should all listen to.
Thank you Mis, glad you liked it.
Harry, you are a true Renaissance man . . . I enjoyed both your ‘voices’ . . .
Thanks Peter.
Both my voices, i’m going to lay down and work that one out.
Nice artwork Harry and a message!
I will try to improve the art 🙂
The question is, which came first, the art or the words because they fit wonderfully together!!!! 🙂
The art came first and it was altered to suit the poem 🙂
Perfection…they do each other perfect justice 🙂
To kind.
