PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

true misery
is self made in the moment
our humanity most often is
what saves us
action is not always kind to words
he who stumbles often cannot run well
where as, he who runs
knows just when it would be in his best
interest to indeed stumble
how ironic it is
that we paste memories in scrap books
yet spend years as well just trying to forget
other aspects of our lives
ever the incompletely placated
fully we wallow
in a bay of fools' fears
unaware of the treason that lurks
in our very own hearts
a self sabotaging race we are
on even a really good day for mankind
it's easy to see why it's no wonder
such broad sweeping statements are made
about the likes of such a damaging us
an unchecked society is but a time bomb
set to all too gradually go off on mother
earth one day soon
in short
we are truly the most toxic organism
made on our planet
as we devour every thing so to serve
our own immediate needs
if you have any doubts whatsoever
just look at the peoples infringing
upon the fragile echo system of the
precious rain forests
in writing this, we cast the earth's misfortune
a line
or so one can most fervently hope.........
