Apocalypse Poem by Valsa George

Apocalypse

Rating: 5.0


Dizzy we stand at a higher altitude
Looking at the weary Earth below
Boiling, bubbling, steaming
Volcanic sounds pierce the ear
Booms of thunder shake the sky
Lightning passes blinding the eye

A sword dangles on a thread
To fall anytime over our heads
Mother Earth groans in agony
Under the pestilence of hatred n'violence
Humanity is reduced to monosyllables
There is a haemorrhage in the dome
Our future is alarmingly at stake
Presaging an imminent doom
Casting thick shadows of gloom

Comrades, toll the bells
Fall on your knees and pray
To all Gods we can call
We are on the brink of an apocalypse

Now, we are on a truce
But soon the war cry would sound!

Dear poet, very appropriate poem of the current situation of the world. U S A plans a another war for oil and gas resources. This poem is a satire for it

Fertile lands, silver and gold, oil and gas, and finally water; resources have always been the reasons of wars but through the ashes of destruction spring the new flowers of construction. The fittest will, however, survive. Miaght is right. So what if someone replaces us.

The terrible hatred that bleeds like an open wound into every nation, bleeding with the tears of the dying, the brave and the forgotten heroes! The sad reality of war, injustice and shocking poverty scars this planet in such an ugly way. Powerful people seek wealth instead of helping the poor and disadvantaged. Powerful and great write! !

The greed and madness of mankind will harm man more than nature. Nature will heal for time is on her side. Man cannot buy time. Thanks Valsa.

A stunning poem of the impending fate of our planet that is held in total disregard by many. Poems such as this are so imperatively important...10+++

A scary but true picture. Apocalypse might sound like a fantasy to some but in the fast changing world, it's not an impossible thing. Though we might like to dismiss it as a mere myth but in our heart of hearts, we all are afraid of impending doom. A well-worded piece that jolts the reader.10

Things happening around spell doom unless we realize what we are doing and correct it. The poet provides a timely warning with words full of power.
