This is my response to The Poetry Slam on Facebook (Round #3). The subject was "three"...
And then there were none...
And then there were three
That slowly made their way from this reality,
Pulled from the planet by forces unseen
That was so much stronger than gravity...
Alone they have become,
Their whole equaling far less than their sum.
They once were known by one and all
Now they are only recognizable to some...
They were Hopes, Desires and Dreams -
They formed the mightiest of teams.
They are shattered and broken upon the ground,
And no one listens to their dying screams...
And so it is as they fade away,
We continue on towards another day
In a world were the joy has finally gone,
And these words are all I have to say...
