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.

Perfect rhyming and the syllable count is spot on too. Some rhythm is broken by natural stresses but overall another great poem. The message is clear although I didn't realise straight away that the rocks and trees were talking to him.
Well done. :)

as a race we destroy all for progress! I often wonder if North America and South were not invaded by Whiteman, the wilderness and Indians working with nature would remain I'm sure to this day peacefully as one as it was before we invaded!

I love this! It's carefully written to tell a story and the rhymes worked great, as did the repetition of the word "humanity"!

"Humanity" is a beast. Humanity is destroying everything it finds...we all destroy the environment. There are no exceptions that i know of. Humanity kills...animals, but its killin itself too. Humanity will be responsible for its own extermination. Thats all i can say about "humanity." nice little poem.
Oh...and i'm done taking read requests until you start taking mine.

I think it was a bit rude... I mean, the last part of the review. Anyways, I turned read requests on, just for you Danny. I'm rarely taking them from others... I mean I read them eventually, but yours are priority.
