We are but shadows beneath the Sun's golden
rays! Created from dust, we are the Earth. Forever
trapped and forced to survive in the Hell
we have constructed for ourselves!
There is great evil in the forest! Will a torch
light for us the way to Truth? Why even bother to
surely dishonor yourself in a blaze of forgotten
promises? The flame will be extinguished before
it even has enough time to emit any warmth to the
seekers of knowledge!
Isolated yet surrounded by mirror images of
themselves, our world leaders convey to us a
master plan of suicide and destruction while we
applaud, salute and wave banners of acceptance!
There will not be another dawn! The Sun will
never light up the desolate emptiness of space
again, for we have seen our last sunset, inhaled
our last breath of fresh air, prayed our last
prayer of forgiveness and finally...
...fulfilled our sad destiny by truly destroying
ourselves with greed, lust and ignorance!

This poem does not hold us in the highest of esteem. It speaks harsh words but truth and maybe it is just that we do not want to hear. Well written
Appreciate it.
“The Truth” - what everyone wants to hear but never accept.
In one of my poems I wrote:
If we can’t have Truth, then conspire a
good Lie; to put our mind at ease and subdue that scoundrel, “Why?”
The mind requires an explanation and if it is not the truth then it will invent one.
