The Fall of the Human Race

The Fall of the Human Race

Gunshots fire,

Evil never tires.

Disguised as rights,

It continues the plight.

 

Saying they care

About welfare,

Yet, bring even more shame;
The fall of the human race.

 

Filled with bitterness

And utter resentment,

Seeking justice in their own way,

Their own acts profane.

 

For what good does it

To keep a torch lit

When love and grace is erased?

The fall of the human race.

 

Looking down

At all the destruction found,
God must be displeased

With humanity.

 

Even so, filled with love,

He sent His beloved Son

To ultimately save

The fall of the human race.

It's sad to think that Humanity has kind of decline morally and it is just very sad to watch the whole world seemingly from something so amazing and then people take it for granted by destroying it and it is so sad that you people are doing that to themselves and to others and to the whole planet. And I love that how the poem seems to indicate that that the world seems to have some sadness in it that can be healed through spirituality or religion or both.

I believe you are right.
"Looking down
At all the destruction found,
God must be displeased
With humanity."
All the gifts given. Enough for the all of us. We see violence and separation. I pray daily for better days dear Melinda. Thank you for sharing your words and thoughts.

A topic that's coming up a lot these days. I would've loved to have seen more description in the lines, instead of general statements. Paint the picture for us with every gritty detail, so we really know what the fall looks like. Thank you for sharing.
