Apocalyptic Journey
By Nomar Knight
It's the end of the world
I say to all who pass by
Some ignore me
Others cast dirty looks
But most can't hear my words
It's the end of the world
Corruption breeds discontent
Thrones of greed alienate the masses
A wave of uprisings topple regimes
Mass hunger is no longer tolerated
It's the end of the world
When the earth groans and shakes
Mother nature objects to neglect
Abuse and murder an epidemic
Clergy and politicians slime crime
It's the end of the world
Families break and hate
Food's wasted then tainted
Fornication breathes without prejudice
People killed for who they are
It's the end of the world
When all hope is lost
Communication dies asunder
Common sense loses to nonsense
Education loses its mind
It's the end of the world
If we can't care for our planet
And find common ground
Stop war and love one another

A Knight Chills poem.
great call to action...as you have identified many of the things that ail our world....
ReplyDeleteCommon sense loses to nonsense.. is my fav line in this poem...happens more and more it seems... dark picture you paint and i too like the call for action in your last stanza
ReplyDeleteThey can't hear your words, because it is inconvenient :)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the first stanza, it has a quiet intensity. My favourite lines: Fornication... and Common sense...
Cheers
Padmavani

You are a writing fiend, Nomar. This poem would go great with my first novel. :D
