The dead planet
November 17, 2023 at 6:26 AM
On a dead planet, where the winds used to whisper gently with the trees and the stars danced in the night sky, silence now reigns. The earth faded, like a tarnished stone that has lost its appeal. I was born here, on this forgotten planet that was once the cradle of life.
Memories of times past explode in my memory like dying stars, illuminating the darkness. I remember the smell of the earth after the rain, which has long dried up. My childish eyes watched as the rivers flowed with living silver, and the grass whispered the secrets of the winds. But now, under the black sky, I stand alone, in the midst of emptiness.
We built towers of glass and metal, towering into the sky like children building sand castles. But our technologies have consumed us like a monster consuming its creators. We didn't notice how nature was dying until the last petal fell from the tree and the last drop of water evaporated.
Now the cities on this forgotten planet look like graves for the living. Glass and concrete replaced green forests, and metal became a monument of deaf pride. The air has become heavy, like longing, and I wander through the streets, trying to understand how we could so recklessly ignore the miracle of life presented to us.
Once our hearts beat in the rhythm of nature, and now they are frozen in meaningless silence. I look at the stars, but their light no longer brings comfort. They are like tears wept out by a planet disfigured by our carelessness.
And I am left alone, the last guardian of this dead land, swept by the wind of time. Trying to understand, I become a witness to the sad symphony of a fading planet, where the world is now only an echo of what it once was.
