Our Shadows

epidemic

epidemic of the worst kind; humanity's negligence

can we not see the shadows we cast on the world?

looking down but never actually receiving

ignoring our toxic imprints

pretending as if we aren't destructive

striding to the next place like a parabolic ghost

evidence or not, our shadows are right behind us

    Epidemic of the worst kind..I've written a few in this vein. It's disheartening to witness every day. You wrote this so powerfully :)
