Poetic-Verses

'' We Burn ''


These human creatures,
Have very odd features,
They're obsessed by the subject of death,
How to kill? They're your best teachers,
They'll make sure you take that last breath.

Laid out in rows,
Arrows and bows,
This was their weapon of choice,
A pull of the string and off with your nose,
The crowd would all then rejoice.

A sword or a knife,
The creator of strife,
Doesn't know how to repent,
Surely ignorance can't be that rife,
It is, they refuse to relent.

Guns galore,
That kill even more,
Cannons and tanks then follow,
Claiming you're peaceful has become a bore,
Truly your words are all hollow.

Poisonous gasses,
To kill the masses,
As a concept not very deft,
If everyone used them life then passes,
It's true there'll be nothing left.

Nuclear fusion,
Is a terrible intrusion,
Into a science we cannot comprehend,
Inevitable destruction is the only conclusion,
Yet your ways you refuse to mend.

The food you eat,
Be it vegetables or meat,
Are becoming extinct every day,
Yet still you refuse to admit defeat,
The inevitable just doesn't hold sway.

The way we're performing,
Our planet's now warming,
From our folly there's now no return,
With Mother Nature we're not conforming,
The inevitable outcome?
