PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

As a species we've left a legacy,

Of preying on the weak,

Hiding violence and destruction,

Behind the kind words that we speak.

Our existance is led by unquenchable greed,

An insatiable thirst for blood and power,

Leaving behind us innumerable bodies,

Often tainting the land to be burnt and sour.

Those who are of different race or creed,

The misunderstood or disabled,

All have tasted our poisonous wrath,

Their differences leaving them hated and labeled.

Humans are a true disease,

A cancer of self destructive ambition,

Our kind slowly choking out all life,

We are the planet's terminal condition.
