Here’s a poem that I’ve written in pentameter, heavily inspired by the late great William Wordsworth. It’s mainly about the state of our planet.
Yes the hope
Found in finding hope is but
A hopeless creed, singing to a false god,
Even if they all breathe in unison,
Their efforts hindered by their inane thoughts,
Conquered by a stupidity rivaled
By no other sentient being of the
Universe.
A wasted commodity
Still being sold now, but yielding no fruit;
Our hope is wrought with our so tiny minds-
Crushed, pulverized into dust by our feet,
So large and clumsy and stubborn with pride.
We’ll leave our footprints on all of our skulls,
We’ll have an orgy on these hallowed grounds.
Forsaken,
Man- a disgusting product
So curiously birthed by our sweet Earth,
Our forgiving and great motherly world
Who never will abandon its offspring,
Never will it forsake its promises.
Alas, it will surely rot by our hands,
Dirty and stained, with wicked intentions
To destroy
Such a priceless, still young Earth.
The guilt floods us all, yet goes unnoticed
For now, because we’ve only just begun
Our prized nations, fit to fore shame us all.
Where has our insight gone? Into never.
The same never found in all of our souls;
Never now,
It defines our existence.
Never never never never never-
Chockfull of this everlasting never,
The that will twist our inverted souls-
Upside-down and confused by behavior
Of men set on unjustly ruling us.
We’re set on destroying this sickly Earth,
“Sickly Earth,
In a fetal position,
We propose to you a proposition-
Give in and give up, yield all your riches,
Bow to us now, and we’ll provide stitches
For your deep wounds- but ho! If you revolt
Against our will, we’ll close in and capture
Your precious goods, your heart- dead, we will hold.”
