In Its Finest Form

Maria Mocha

Though the forest never

Consented to being razed,

The oceans didn’t ask

To be polluted with toxins,

The ground never requested

To be drilled deep for oil,

The atmosphere didn’t demand

To be filled with noxious poisons,

And the earth doesn’t deserve

To be destroyed and pillaged,

Beauty still remains.

Beauty is translucent,

Underneath the dirt.

Something used to be pure,

Before its rotten decay,

Before the greed,

The grime,

The prejudice,

The bigotry,

The bad and ugly,

But through it all,

Beauty still remains.

I love creative writing and photography and I am passionate about both. I write poetry, essays, short stories and various thoughts about different topics. Sometimes I will post pictures I have taken as well. Writing eases my mind, releases tension in my heart and cleanses my soul. I will post a variety of my writings I have done over the past 20+ years and current writings. I will also post various photos I have taken from time to time as I also like photography as well. I welcome you to my blog and I hope you enjoy it.
