Collapsing World Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Collapsing World



Collapsing world

Isn`t odd the world is on the brink of collapse
yet more airports are built sometimes at unlikely places
to get the swarm of tourism in.
It is ok for a traveller to walk in the streets of Paris but
not leave trash at the foot of Himalaya and plastic bags
spoiling beaches.
There was a noise on the balcony a big seabird had
collided with glass partition of the railing the bird
suffered a bent beak but was otherwise looking fine
if a bit shocked; of course it could no longer feed and
slowly starved to death.
A warning to us who fail to see the looming breakdown
of our world
