Saints And Sinners

Is this what the future brings?

Saints and sinners

Commit this deicide

With a man made, apocalypse

The coming ecocide

Spreading its famine, worldwide

There will come a time

When all humanity, has died

From self-inflicted, genocide

Our children are born, to witness

Mankind’s slow suicide

A faceless generation, questioning why

Paying the price

With a future denied

Saints and sinners

Commit this deicide

With a man made apocalypse

The coming ecocide

Spreading its plague, worldwide

No more wondering eyes

To gaze contemplatively, at the sky

Never another, baby’s cry

Only silence left behind

On a world without dreams, to realize

This soulless Earth will rise

By the hand, of our own demise

Saints and sinners

Commit this deicide

With a man made, apocalypse

The coming ecocide

Spreading its war worldwide

Saints and sinners

Commit this deicide

With a man made, apocalypse

The coming ecocide

Spreading its death, worldwide

With an open mind, and caring heart

The blind, can lead the sighted

The crippled, can head the start

Celebrate, the wrongs we’ve righted

Hand in hand, on a world united

Author's Note

Have at it.

[Coyote Poetry]

A powerful poem. Open the door to a good discussion. A old wisdom. "For every good. There is a bad done also." With old age I can see the combination of both in all decisions. Saint and sinners. Most of us will play both. No weakness in this outstanding poem. Thank you for sharing.

"Every Saint has a Past
Every Sinner, a Future"

^Came to my mind as I read. Excellent execution on the tone of the piece; very despairing and "The Children of Men" -ish in the first stanzas.
The last stanza is very thought-provoking as well.
Excellent penning. :)
