Can We Turn It Around?

We are all drowning in a sadness,
one that can't be subdued by drink or drugs.

 

This beautiful world in which we live,

sadly we are killing second by second.

 

Species are dying out each and everY day,

and all for what, there is no justification.

So we can create more houses,

for more monsters who will destroy this world. 


People who care more,

about what they wear,

ignorant of the pain it took,

to produce that single item,

so you can look like a slut in a night club. 

 

I could go on forever about all the wrongs

and how could we ever have let it go this far.

 

 

Truth is the fat cats drule on their wealth,

and get kicks watching the poor,

drowning in 'their' dribble.

 

I won't even say what I think,

because it's too shocking even for me. 

I just know as a human race, 

we are destroyers, thinking we are all that,

when we are just power crazed bastards,

destroying what is left,

 of what we once called 'society'. 

And also what we called the 'natural' world.

We are slowly killing it all,

but hey, we are humans... 

We are A Superior Race,

and life was created just for us...

we are fuking pathetic 

 

 

 

 

Author notes

I could have gone about different issues forever, but no matter how loud I shout or how angry I get, it dosen't change the world, without sounding too depressing, this world is fucked. Hold on to those you love and protect them with your life, for in this dog eat dog world, your wife will kill you just to get your house...


Not sure if I believe in a God but if I did, i know he would be crying, or if he is an evil God he is laughing at us each day..... let your faith decide..

    There is so much truth expressed in this piece. We, who are the superior beings on this earth are slowly becoming the inferiors, wrecking what has been bestowed upon us. Our greed and indifference to what is happing is deplorable. May God forgive us when the time comes for reckoning... or maybe, if we really want to, really make the required effort, we can save what's left and build upon it to once again have our good earth replenished.

    What an insightful poem, this must have taked some deep thinking. It builds, as if you're on a roll, becoming more adamant as the poem progresses.

    A superb job

    This is the absolute truth..BRAVO!!! I hope that this will open the eyes of the ones that have the money and power to do something to help all God's creatures and this world, not themselves. Well done and well said. The presentation is very effective.

    Great

    I couldnt agree with you more my friend, or your work here.
    Direct to the point of brutality( a good thing, i feel the world needs it now) and an in-your-face-answer to what we call social progress.
    The spelling threw me off a bit but its all good.
    Thanks for entering
