doomed by humanity

You are to write a, 150 word max, poem on a certain way in which the planet is doomed by humanity. It can be anything, just has to make sense. Needs to be a new poem, not an already existing one.

you will be judged on approach towards the topic.

Good Luck :)

Who Burned the Blitz Shelter Sign?


Rebel Rebel, you'll send us all to Hell
unless you follow the rules of order well.
People who can't or will not read and heed
the danger sign on the razor fence will bleed.
Walk an inch onto No Man's Land
and you'll get slapped a mile by Reaper's hand.
Death loves no one but he'll screw all he can get.
Put your brainless head in hole, your ass will be his yet.

Is this an entry? If so great start and topic. If it is an entry, I just have to question which was written first (the entry or your poem...?) as per the rules... :)

No, I can stay. So others can learn...

I wrote it here first, today. Then I put a copy in my poems.
(Look at the timedate printed here (before modification). It was first written here at 6:33 ...then posted minutes later at 6:39 into my personal collection.) Hope that helps...

Yes, it's an entry. Its message is basically that stupidity of humans and rebellion against sane orders could become our downfall.

by the
token of time
by the
evidence
we find
each crossing of
the line
becomes more
refined

love in a bind, then
left
behind, then
hate and crime
we
favor to
dine

a
full
course, yet
ignoring its source  
absent all remorse  
subtle with its
force

the
failure
of insight  
compassion
goes blind
these are but
regressions
signaling to the
mind

the
regrettable
turns
palatable
with ease we
consume

it’s
the how(l) of
mankind
voicing our
doom

ok great start :)

We are polluting and shooting
Abusing and misusing
With bruises and muses
We are slowly dying

Extinction and endangered
For a fur coat on a hanger
Few people show signs of anger
When we put other species in danger

Almost every animal
Has a use that can be found
We choose to make them designs
And the fate of the world is intertwined
If all of them die we follow behind

We're still killing ourselves
The same way we do everything else
And corrupting the minds of the younger
Starting wars the helped create world hunger

This hurt can't go on for much longer
It's getting weaker instead of stronger
As the world dies out

EARTHLINGS UNEARTHED
“Want to make Mother Earth laugh?”
Tell her that humanity is going to destroy the world
After she recovers from hysterics
With a look of disgust, and a flick of her wrist
She’ll sweep the human race
Under a rug of clay layered over other
Long forgotten creatures that ruled
This, one of a billion planets, of the Cosmos
And when greater minds unearth our fossils
They too will laugh, at the arrogance of the species
That called itself, “MAN”

Death by humanity,
crystallized methamphetamine
most becomin ghosts after turning to coke
turnin them broke, tossin themselves off of bridges all out of dope
all out of hope, lied to by those with higher iqs and touched wrong by the pope
brown stone in the veins
humans die alone polluting the rain
we all decay and rot away
eachothers drug we give eachother hugs, smoke nugs and pray
takin life out the soil, bleeding for oil, makin my blood boil when i see youth smokin crack out the foil, earth in termoil... death by humanity

When Gods Scheme

Every cause has collateral
Some more than others and some all there is
Every cause has an effect
And the only guarantee is a reaction

When gods scheme
The pawns they progress are towards stars
Testing Ground Terra is judged

Failure

DOOMSDAY SCENARIO

http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/287/d/1/end_of_days_by_engrvv-d6qg3fd.jpg


Trains, trucks and other modes of transportation
Those things would be trashed due to teleportation
Time travel, telekinesis and telecommunications
Transcends space and time in tomorrow’s tragedy

Decay in the dying fibers of a decadent society
Declares impending doom—we’re waiting with anxiety
Disheartening destructions causing demoralization
Disenchantment due to some government inaction

Global warming gives a glimpse of doomsday scenario
Geophysicists’ warning ignored downplayed on the radio
Geological surveys of eroding grounds and sinking burrows
Growing fears in the hearts of many echo in yesterday’s sorrows

Wish we could work wholeheartedly with others worldwide
Wasteful war and political strifes—let us all set aside
Wipe away the tears of children and widowed women
World peace would bring wonder and good tidings to all men

If I've Gotta Tell You...(you're fucked)

Picture The Last Supper
with a modern twist
everyone watching television
the table covered in fast food wrappers
and where da Vinci signed his name
envision an ad for Monsanto
with a subliminal message promoting GMO corn
everyone at the table diagnosed with some dysfunction
illness or condition

because.

mainstream advertising injects every soul
with a form of capitalism that turns a global chess game
between the few elite players
into a diversion
as eugenics decides the course again
eliminating the pawns from the overcrowded board
without their knowing

water and oil
just water and oil

providing us tribalism via gangs and sports teams
stadiums and club colors
instead of land and streams
wisdom and culture
assigned debt instead of meaning

water and oil
just water and oil

the child just born and left in the dumpster
by the teenage mother who was raped by her foster father
are not the problem but the product
of a diminishing humanity
because peace is the result of justice and
life isn't fair to most

struggle and strive towards simple unrest

as ambiguous as the Mona Lisa's expression
born to obey what we built to serve us
and saving to die with illegal smiles
or big pharma prescribed numbness

killing all gods in favor of religion
I can't help envisioning the crucifixion and
shiny bags full of Christmas presents hanging off the arms
of Christ
lights adorning evergreen pines
in the desert

or picturing Hitler and the swastika
bleeding onto the star of David as the souls
once claimed in concentration camps look onto Gaza
in amazement

water and oil
just water and oil

as little girls hide their faces
for different reasons at varying stages
their eyes like their mothers
because of hands like their fathers
black after the biggest nights

when I tried asking God about religion
it was a subject too foreign
a topic too irrelevant for discussion
a diversion

and if I have to tell you whats coming
just buy your fuel and head to work
leave the kids until later on the couch
waiting to watch the next reality show
with fries and a coke




**I'd like to argue that my "going over" the word limit is part of the approach and ask that it be considered a part of what the piece is trying to relate as a central message. Considered as part of the completeness in the art of the piece, if you will.



or, if you think that sounds like complete B.S.
render it inadmissible and realize that I saw the word limit post-entry...too late

either way, cool comp. Thanks
