WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO HUMANKIND?


What has happened to humankind?

Horror created by the collective evil mind.

They climb walls and cross a border

To enact terror against law and order.

Who attacks a music festival in farm fields,

While kidnaping babies as body shields?

The world can’t comprehend the bloodthirst

Nor explain the mind capable of this terror-thirst.

Our borders must be protected from the vicious horde,

Before the world succumbs to hatred across the board.

MOTHER NATURE


red ocean

Nature takes its path,
removing the trash.
Enough humans for now.
So, take a final bow.
Let Mother Nature work to restore
the earth to what it was before.

SILVER LINING

This is just a bump in the road.
Life can deliver us a toad.
But we must keep our hope intact.
We know this as a well-known fact,
“Every cloud has a silver lining.”
I refuse to hear any more whining.

WE CRY


Source:


We cry for ourselves.
We cry in the night.
Tears roll down our cheeks.
Frowns cover our faces.
We stand together.
We cry for no one.
We cry for everyone.

PRAY FOR HUMANITY




Cry for your family.
Cry for peace.
Hold your head high
and hope for a better world.
Pray for mother earth.
Pray for humanity.

TOO OFTEN


 


TOO OFTEN

Too often, there are deaths.
Too often, there are murders.
Too often, we stop and stare.
Too often, people look away.
Sad, but true.
Human nature possesses an evil side,
which tempts us each day.
Its flipside offers us a way to achieve
purer thoughts and good deeds.
Which path will lead to a better world?
Too often, we make the wrong choice.

TRAPPED IN WONDERLAND



Crowds of people.
Cars honking.
People pushing.
Where are they going?
A blur to me.
A mass of humanity.
Hurrying to their end.
No individuality.
No manners.
A need to get somewhere fast.
Trapped in their thoughts.
In a hurry to go nowhere.

ALL WILL BE GONE



The moon is distant.
The stars keep their distance.
Trees and grass retreat from sight.
The ice caps recede daily.
Soon they will be memories
of the destruction, we have wrought.

ONE WITH THE EARTH

Asectic by Pierre Alain D. ©

We tend to forget
we’ve sprung from the soil.
When our time is done,
we’ll return to it.
We must maintain our humility,
keep our humanity intact.
The earth can still reject us,
eject us from its sphere.
Don’t tempt it.

DISCARDED MEMORIES


Source:


The waves cascade,
bringing their baggage to shore.
Debris of lives gone by
and places far away.
Seaweed tickles my toes.
Shells crunch beneath my heels.
A motley display of humanity
sprinkled through the pink sand.

PATH TO OUR OWN DESTRUCTION


Source:


Humanity has overgrown its boundaries.
Its reach has surpassed all expectations.
We are herded into buildings like cattle.
On subways, we are packed like sardines.

Mankind spreads to devour new areas,
To bring the world under its deadly reign.
Why not spoil the open spaces, we ask, 
until they resemble our version of hell?

The ocean bears our garbage and refuse,
While the horizon dims from the smog.
We puff on our cigars and cars
Until our sins are hidden by a smoke screen.

When will we say enough is enough?
It is time to replenish what we have taken.
It’s past time to rebuild and sow.
We must save the animals going extinct,
And feed our countrymen who live on the streets.

Will this happen in our lifetimes?
We know the answer to this question.
Unless something drastic is done,
we will continue on this path 
to our own destruction.

MY EYES SEE



My eyes see the light beyond
where humans hurry to and fro.
My eyes see the darkness inside
where humans have no pride.
They fight and attack each other
with no regard for their species.
They rant and rave over their passions
with little concern for the welfare of others.
My eyes see the good and the bad,
leaving me all too sad.
Meow.

SKIN AND BONES



Skin and bones.
That’s all we are.
Easy to break.
Easy to fall.
Don’t fall apart.
Keep strong.
Keep fit.
In mind,
Body,
And soul.
