Planet Earth (rant)

by Mr. Darcy   Aug 1, 2016


Metro madness, Chaotic city
Perforated ozone, what a pity.

Smoking highways, jammed lanes,
Choking children, what a shame.

Burning carcass, flaming fields
Wal.mart prices, rotting meals.

Food mountains gathering dust,
children suck on empty busts.

Brainwashed people taught to hate,
Warring countries, big mistake.

Running taps, greedy lies,
poisoned water, families die.

Silent shouting, unheard words,
sea tankers, oil-covered birds.

Monkeys prone on metal bench,
Probes sticking out of open heads.

Desperate people, a message profound,
Two trembling towers fall to the ground.

A truck used as a weapon of hate
when we will learn from our mistakes

Animals dying. Species extinct
Planet earth, on the brink...

    Hello Sir,

    Praise the Lord

    This write of yours is delivering out the images of darkness. The vital and the most interesting stuff I've found here is your rhyming skills. Normally we don't see rhyming stuff from your mind, but this writing is tremendous.

    As you have expressed the dark side of the planet Earth makes me fall into the visions of the seven years of tribulation period (The last chapter of the bible). It doesn't not figuring forth only the destruction of the Earth but also giving an information that we humans are only responsible for all the stuffs written above.

    So, leaving this all behind, let's make a new earth with the grace of the almighty Lord Jesus Christ.

    Michael, so true. We are destroying ourselves and doing nothing to stop it. You have really nailed it-
