The Reason

Contributed by BrokenWingedAngel65 on Friday, 22nd June 2007 @ 06:01:22 AM in AEST
Topic: AmericanTragedy

We are the reason for our own corruption.
We are the master's of our own destruction.
We are the virus, we are the malfunction.
We are the sickness, we are the cure.

Before we came, this planet was pure.
Now all that's left are the smoke and the flame.
The scarred planet is screaming, but it's words
have no meaning that we could ever grasp.

An empty chest is what seems best
for the cold eyes race of the mindless and wicked.
An industrious wasteland stands beneath
the clouds that pour down acid rain.

To live, or to die, it all feels the same.
Lungs that can't breathe, and eyes that
can't see are just a part of this cruel game.
We are all playing, but to win is a loss
that no one could name.

Our greed is a beast that no one can tame
That is why. ...

we are the reason.

Yes, "We are the reason" that our world is in the state it is in at this current moment, only we can change it. This was a very wise and wonderful write. Thank you for sharing and welcome to the site.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
