Dying WorldA Poem by Michael FernandezLifted
hands, Broken
lives, Few
could understand, So
much seen through tired eyes.
Dying
world casted aside, For
silver and gold, Man’s
only wish to die, Replacing
their aging souls.
House
of death, shelter of fear " Underneath
a begging symbol and lust, Power,
greed, the tools to corrupt, Night’s
final breath, gone with mother’s tears, Empowerment
to which we had trust, Weapons
of sticks and stones, erupt " A
man of God, dressed in black, Mouth
dried and begging for the waters of life, A
thirst for his holiest truths, Human’s
divine hate, the seeds of death, Plant
into our minds, programmed for eternal strife, A
demand of faith upon a cross, Collected
objects from our thoughts, Fear
to which we’ve pushed once more, A
brave new world to which we call home, Another
war for freedom to be fought, Seven
Seals hide us from Heaven’s Door, Two
men locked in combat and hate, Blinded
by atomic fire and a ruin of rain, Crushed
by their own beliefs, Ten
Thousand sealed their fate, The
world beckons for justice amongst the insane, House
of death, shelter of fear " Another
flame breaks its fall, From
this dying world.
