Is this the best you got?

sorenbarrett

Only man can fuck up something as perfect as nature
Only God can create something as fucked up as man
Man would replace nature's home with a house of plastic shit
Raping his own children, stealing from his brother and killing his own kind
Only he would nail his own creator to a cross
Turn it into a necklace, earrings and tatoos to wear to a whore house
Drink filtered feces, urine and medication
Then declare himself the most intelligent of species

      Man doth make a mess of things. What would you postulate to be the root cause of wrongdoing?

      • sorenbarrett

        Thank you so much Katie for the read and comment I would guess not the sole cause but the major cause is greed.

        • Katie B.

          I would tend to agree!

          Soren, well damn…you came in swinging on this one...and I love it! There’s a raw, unfiltered edge here that doesn’t pull back at all, and it hits with that blunt force, that is well-deserved. Strong piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

          Wow, a strong poem.The feelings of anger and disillusionment. Words like "fuck up," "raping," and "killing" evoke a sense of brutality, while phrases like "house of plastic shit" critique consumerism and environmental neglect. The poet uses metaphor to compare humanity’s actions to rape and self-destruction, insinuating a deep moral failing. Your poem revolves around themes of environmental degradation, moral corruption, and the complex relationship between humanity and the divine. It raises questions about human intelligence and ethical behavior in contrast to the natural world. Well written, Soren, it juxtaposes the beauty of nature with the flaws of mankind, portraying humanity as both self-destructive and paradoxically proud. Sorry for the long feedback; I really got it to your painting.
