PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I think that our kids will probably see

the end of humanity
As we know it

cause this world’s about to blow it
Will they see what they saw in ancient Rome
The destruction of the home?
Will they see the end of civility?
Cause when morality’s been blurred

procreation seems absurd
And human rights and freedom are just words
That have lost all their meaning
In a world that is bleating

like an animal at slaughter
I hope that my daughters never know

what it feels like to give up
To know the whole world is corrupt
To realize that they are really on their own
And there’s no one left who cares

about the future
Infected cuts don’t need a suture
There’s a feeling that the human race

has seen the checkered flag
And the laps that are given

are the last ones ever driven
And everyone who’s still living knows that
It’s a shame that the Earth

will live on but can’t give birth
To a baby planet where we could start over again

We've been divided,

we've been bled
Like a chicken without a head,

running frantically amok
Taking but not giving a fuck

History is just an alibi
It’s believing every lie

man has ever dared to write
It’s so much easier to see

than complex reality
A lifetime full of misery and blight

So we tell

our daughter’s and sons

that they’re not the final ones
To see this planet as a decent place to live
We use a telescope

to give them faith to give them hope
Anything to help them cope

with their future
Cause there’s no alternative
