Our Civilization Collapsed (Poem)

[Chidi Anthony Opara, FIIM, CDOA]

By Chidi Anthony Opara 

A new day

Without the sonorous 

Songs of songbirds 

And the bustle 

Of busy humans and animals.

The sun struggled to rise,

Struggled to shine,

Weighed down

By the dark couds of July.

The clouds unleashed rain, 

The rain drenched and drained 

Our knapsack of knowledge.

The iron birds 

Could no longer fly,

The medicine men,

The medicine women

No longer know 

The cure for our illnesses,

Our civilization collapsed.

The rain 

Rained in torrents

And drenched our earth

Devoid now

Of our knapsack of knowledge.
