Humane Survival

 

 

Mother Earth’s scars

Run sensitive to the core.

Her heartbeat often unstable

From children’s misdeeds

Leaving an unsteady crack

Through her organic chambers

Letting every ethnic bloodline

Seep into an abyss

As humanity pays the price

Of an ancient verse brought to life.

A prophecy fulfilled,

Set in motion by the ramblings

Of a blind man

With distorted visions

Of a mentor with perfect vision.

Prayer turn to treason

From toxic preaching,

Trying to perform an exorcism

In full blown Armegeddon.

Doomsday inevitable

Still the world spins,

Encore… reborn.

War, peace, war and peace again..but never ending as you duly note in your write. It has all been predicted, and man tries to fix it, "right it" so to say, but we are unable to perform a full exorcism so doomsday still looms before us. It is sadly, the folly of man!
Deep, and reflective....wonderful!

An Indian would say ' you must have been a yogi or a rishi in a former life.' Well done! I can't see where you may have pulled this out of the fire but it rings profoundly true.

This is a great way to describe how we are destroying the earth and I love the biblical touches you have added.

All of this really resonates with me. It's overwhelming to think that this planet has seen so much ever since the invention of civilization. Great job.

And you've done it again... Your ability to use words to concieve deep meaning is truly phenomenal.

Love the "toxic preaching" line, has me thinking of Pat Robertson. This is well-written and structured. As I am new here and this is the first piece of yours I've read, the first piece on the site in fact, I'll tread lightly through this review. As a dramatically deep piece concerning the human condition in relation to the planet, seemingly both physically and spiritually, one word/line seemed out of place--"fun"

This is beautiful and scary because this is exactly what is going to happen to our Earth. You captured the very thought we all have- but no one has the control to stop it. I loved this piece.
