Assiah

The worlds perspective on what we're doing to it.

My name is Assiah 

I’ve been alive for dozens of centuries 

And was originally made out of land, water and life’s mysteries 

But due to industrial modernization 

I am now made out of metal, concrete and pollution. 

I house everything and everyone but I have no home. 

I have no gender, no soul, I remain unknown. 

I’ve become a field for human differences and hate. 

I experience no abstracts, I have no mate. 

I was vibrant with fauna and flora as my beauty 

But my inhabitants have made destroying me their duty. 

I’m a mixture of everything that’s wrong with your world 

All combined and compressed to form a huge mould. 

As I watch your world continue to suffer, 

I grow stronger, anxious and buffer. 

I collect all positive and negative vibes 

And everything else that consumes your lives. 

One day when I’ve gathered all your energy, emotions and stupidity 

And when I have no more to offer not even my hospitality, 

Your world will finally reach its threshold 

And I shall slowly begin to unfold. 

The broken core of my inner flames will explode 

And your minds will all be blown 

As you’re being blasted with the intensity of your reality 

While you watch and feel your nerves burn from losing your sanity. 

Your eyes will start to bleed when you look up to the skies 

And realise that this is the beginning of your demise. 

And once you end, I shall be reborn as pure energy in accord 

And all peace and silence shall be restored.

[Great Aunt Astri]

The voice of the World! Another powerful poem. I love the rhymes (and the 'near rhymes'). It all flows along like a river. But I sincerely hope we will all begin to respect and care for 'Mother Nature' before she blows us sky high! I think you could change the format a bit. If you had the last two lines (often called 'the conclusion') as a separate verse, it might have more impact. I enjoyed this poem.

This is excellent in narrative, ZW. We share a lot of mutual views.

On the piece: I read this aloud, and feel it works well being read on the screen/page, and performed as well. No critiques! I enjoyed it.
