Is This A Joke?

The grand far reaching scope of mortal things

Account for blights on Earth and well beyond

Like plague our calloused touch has struck but brings

No guilt or fear to which we must respond

 

A thin and frail divide exists between

A species’ bleakest failure and success

The human race seems driven by obscene

Desire, like locusts to consume, possess

 

We are a riddle for we do lay waste

On earth, but phoenix like, we rise with fire,

Ride comets or ascend the moon encased

In electronic magic, to dreams we aspire

 

Is God a jester laughing at his joke?

Satire is without humor if invoked
