Trouble on the horizon.

Trouble on the horizon.

As the somewhat prosaic materialistic society

grows in stature

collecting

gathering

storing

so the Earth becomes

smaller

her resources

depleting

scarce

thinner

barren

void

nil.

Demand outstrips replacements.

" Hello!" 

" Can I have Earth's spare parts department, please!"

" We're all in need of replacements!"

" Can I put an order in? "

" We're in need of more fresh air, clean water, trees, food fresh!"

" You know those kinda things!"

" Hello! Anyone there!"

" Is this Amazon?"

Honest and true logic in the poem my friend.
" Hello!"

I liked the above lines a lot. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry. Left something for the reader to think about.

Honestly, if human kind will refuse to grow up, then I say it deserves, to die out, completely.

we're only taking, and destroying the earth. masses will die, fighting for water, and a place where it's safe to breath.

Humanity, is the nastiest, dumbest, ugliest beast out there.
I only hope, reason will replace greed, before it's too late.

[andrew mitchell]

Thanks Danny we sure are stupid in our greed for life

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Greed for life is not destructive. our greed for unnecessary things, on the other hand is. like, wanting money... how many things go down, under the shroud of that shining illusion of worth?
Wanting to live, a sustainable life. no destroying the environment, however, is the greed, that should replace our current ones.

[andrew mitchell]

From greed comes power and then its mismanaged. Thanks Danny A can of worms we opened lol

[Dani The Unreviewed]

yup ... pretty much like that. lol

[jesserose99]

Yeah, shouldn't this be easy peasy people!! This is the back up plan right?? Let's just hope they don't charge us for shipping.

[andrew mitchell]

[AaronFreitas]

I like this one :) I swear that many people in this world believe we can just simply replenish everything we need just use and abuse until we will have no more :) I need water in my state! haha

[andrew mitchell]

Now I have to read more of your work since you need a bigger present for your quality work. ;)

[andrew mitchell]

Too kind Willard, you may be disappointed lol I churn out a lot of dribble, you may have to dig deep haha

[Willard Wells]

We all have a bit of fluff and unrefined work flowing in space. I write rather like I take picture. I take lots and hope one is worthwhile.

[andrew mitchell]

I like that take on poetry, thanks Willard

"Parts department" now that's witty, this would be very funny if it weren't so true it makes one want to cry. Oh heck I am going to laugh anyway and beg forgiveness if anyone find me politicly incorrect :~)

[andrew mitchell]

You had me laughing Bear. Thank you for your kind words. It was all satire this write!

[Bear]

See that is something that surprises me, I like to make people laugh or smile at least and the Christmas poems I posted doesn't seem to be doing the trick, so I hope your poem works where mine have not :~)
