Bright and beautiful
Dances happily in the breeze like wondrous ballerinas
Bringing happiness and colour to the world
But then we humans
Aliens to all living things in the world go and destroy it
It's like taking candy from a baby it's easy but sorrowful
Or like having a beautiful coloured picture and scribbling it in black PERMANENT marker
Not being able to erase it or the past
Taking the colour, ballerinas and happiness out of the world
So for once let's NOT be the monsters or aliens of the world
Let's do something right
Because once it's gone it's GONE!!!:-)
