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."
