Poem #7: Destruction Cries
#7 of Poetry
This poem is one of my earlier works, about how the world can turn out to be its own downfall.
Destruction Cries
The sky calls
It chokes it sputters:
Lives fall
The ground it shutters.
And destruction cries,
"The world is mine."
The ground it shakes
The earth it splits;
It shatters and quakes
The pieces tip.
And destruction cries,
"The world is mine."
Hope, it spins
Its foundation cracked.
Death, it wins.
Fate is black.
And destruction cries,
"The world has lied."
Earth, wind and fire
Thunder, water and ice.
The elements are dire
Death will suffice.
And destruction cries,
"The world has tried."
This life, it fails
It is replaced by nothing;
Hope, it bails
The world is suffering.
When life decides to leave,
Death haunts our dreams.
There is nothing more to believe;
The entire world, it screams.
Because destruction cries,
"Hope has been lying."
Because destruction cries
"The world is dying."
