In a dying world, be industrious

The world stays vintage

shades of gray

Sculpted from clay

Dismal, and discontent

Images silhouetted

Things like clouds coincide

the concrete fact,

everything is subject to change except change itself

Do we focus on negative space

Or the blank?

In a dying world, be assiduous

The world stays vintage

shades of gray

Sculpted from clay

I see the dark,

Discouraging as expansive

imposing as disappointing

Where the unusual mind

is seen as usual

Not a optimist, naturally-

I gaze upon the globe

every day-

Instead, of getting stronger,

her strands of hair grays...

Nature’s immeasurable wisdom

she kept fading away

continually bland...

In a dying world, be sedulous

The world stays vintage

Shades of gray

Sculpted from clay

Displaced and Distant

repeatedly stabbed with a knife-

A mouth gapping open like a whale

Revels a mix

of black and white acrylic

like a wrecking ball,

she is letting out her content!

We are trapped in a dying world,

The world stays vintage

Shades of gray

Forced to face numerous

abnormalities

Non-domestic as a gray wolf-

All the while,

painting masterpieces

Sculpted from clay

Cemented in memory

Dying in infinite shades of gray...
