The asphalt glass sparkles
Stars turned topsy turvy
Over under a white wisped
sea of blue

We have trapped our universe
underfoot
Cocooned it in charcoal grey
Suffocated it with fumes
Drowned it in diesel

The ocean above rages
to see its sister strangled
but its tirades cannot crack
this hardened shell apart
cannot permeate its surface
breathe life into her lungs

Mortal and mummified
this universe is finite
tumbling to its grave
buried beneath mans ignorance
entombed
while we drive
upon the funeral mound

Some great stanzas in this, very descriptive and the imagery is done so well. I especially enjoyed this one:

"We have trapped our universe

underfoot

Cocooned it in charcoal grey

Suffocated it with fumes

Drowned it in diesel"

Excellent Tung!

I really like this--it's tight and written with great precision.

urban sprawl

bites yet we are all rather guilty, aren't we. You expressed this sentiment very well, good work :)
