Inhumanities

The end is near; they told me so,

the trees that shrink and rocks that grow.

I listened close because they know

about humanity.

They told me stories, terribly true,

of inhumanities they knew.

And as I watched, they showed me too

about humanity.

The trees, they said that we were doomed

because the way that we are groomed.

They told it all that they presumed

about humanity.

The rocks, they voiced that they were old,

and watched as humans grew too bold.

They explained horrors once untold

about humanity.

I sat there with the trees and rocks,

as I was quiet and they had talks.

They discussed all the worthy stocks

about humanity.

At last they told me one more chance

would be given to our expanse.

Yet still we tried to ever advance

all of humanity.

The thought was scary, honest so.

The trees and rocks watch while I know

how all of humanity shows

their inhumanities.

And now I wait for the last night,

when there will be an extreme fight.

Does anyone know all the spite

against humanity?

Author's Note

It may seem like gibberish, but I have a meaning behind the poem.

I see no gibberish here, but instead an all to real revelation of true as to how we, as mankind, treat the earth that supports and nourishes us ... I am not a ecology nut extremist ... But common sense should prevail ... And sadly, it does not ... A nicely written poem with a powerful message ...

thank you marvin :) im not really either but this just came to mind so i wrote it

[Corbin Driver]

Human kind has done a lot of destruction to the world. I understand what this poem is displaying.

thats good. i was trying to make it a little poetic, but still obvious

[Crystal Overmeyer-Birmi..]

I love when you have to dive in to a poem to uncover its true meaning, and this one was worth the dissection. I am normally not a fan whatsoever of rhymes, these were executed with a grace and flow that seemed to happen so naturally ( no pun intended) Great Job

[Not here]

haha how do you read my poems then if you arent a fan of rhymes? thanks for the review :)

[Amy R]

This doesn't seem gibberish at all, its quite factual. People should wake up and realize that they need to be more humane than being inhumane. But again, they fail at that task.
beautiful poem! :)

When the trees are gone. Men will be gone first. We need trees more than they need us. Powerful thoughts left the reader with something to think about. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

[Coyote Poetry]

I liked the poem and you are welcome.

[The Waterlily Pad]

Love the fact that you have a hidden meaning, you twist it with some confusing concepts but you don't spare some hints of the words you picked purposely and used for precise reasons.... "Humanity" "terribly true".. Etc. I can see your advance in poetic techniques :) keep it up and btw, I like the fact that your experimenting with your poems... It's interesting to see a varying piece, each one slightly different.

thank you :) and yeah the first dozen or more that i wrote all seemed really similar

[Willard Wells]

Not gibberish to me, I have been watching a failed humanity for sometime and I keep hoping a light will come on and people will become more human and less greedy and self importance. Humanity will die with just a whimper. NIcely done.

thanks :) and im starting to agree with you

[Tamika Finley]

Doesn't seems like gibberish at all to me. Holds much truth, for humans usually show inhumane ways than human ways. Worst part, they all act like there's nothing wrong with it. I love the flow of this, and the fact that trees and rocks were used.

thanks :) im glad you liked it

The rocks, they voiced that they were old,
and watched as humans grew too bold.
They explained horrors once untold
about humanity.

Nothing is gibberish Dante if it comes from the writer. Now others as the readers might not understand but it was good. You have a lot of talent so keep writing.
