Analysis of A Cold Realization
Warm winter nights
Cold summer days
Something isn’t right
All you can do is pray
You received notice
But chose to ignore
Soon all hopeless
As you prepare to implore
Trying to fix this error
Too much to correct
Too far for any darer
Too slow to connect
To drown and to realize
Far too late to warn others
Was invisible to feeble eyes
You had the opportunity to recover
You’ve avoided your suit of guilt
Now watch unharmed
Your home will wilt
And nature will bear the arms
That you have built

About this poem
I accidentally wrote this as a joke for an assignment I had to do. I guess I learned something from myself. If you have to read it twice to figure it out then maybe you’re a part of the problem.
