Creating Hell

Reservations in Hell
We've made
The future sits there
Staring with fiery eyes
Burning holes in the crust
Still, we cannot bury pride

Our demise is surely written
But we turn our heads
The rotting of our rubbish
Does not concern our turned up noses
We can continue on our meds

Blood spills from
Quivering animals
Their lips cease to tremble
If they were permitted
To speak a few words
They'd be the most truthful ever spoken


We never hear their cries

Or watch
The light go out in their eyes

We think it might stop someday
So, yeah..it's probably alright

Decades of neglect
Hopes and dreams quickly killed
We do what has been done to us
Blisters us inside from the anger we feel

The mirror can hold many lies
In it we see ourselves as heroes
The distortion in our minds
Empowers our Egos

When the last generation
Count down the last hours
Don't you think
They'll think us mighty swell
For creating a damn hot

Living Hell?
Author Notes
I just hope that we can all become better people but there's too much evidence to suggest that though times have changed, there still seems to countless amounts of murder, torture, pointless conflicts, animal cruelty and human stupidity that grows stronger everyday in the sense of environmental damage. Too many people are naive. They do not understand that they do not OWN any part of the Earth and they cannot tamper with nature.
If you're doing everything to help the environment, animals and people..then rawk on!

That really really speaks to the darkness of my soul. Thank you. Excuse me but I'm going to go have me a good cry away from my laptop slavery machine. It's so nice to read poetry that's not horribly childish, whiny, and cliched. Thank YOU!
