Dying A Useless Death Poem by James McLain

The Philae probe) 67p(
has landed on the surface of a comet,
scientists announced today it's Wednesday.
Thousands of highly skilled people
made it possible.
Enough to start anew and depopulate the planet.

For those whom believe in reincarnation it isn't
a far stretch to think that in your past life,
you won't again repeat it.
Giving birth to they whom had no chance
or choice
like before you with you they did.
Useless deaths in third or fourth world countries
ours has become.

Pharmaceutical companies tested their poisons
on your mothers
and fathers before you, stupid is as stupid spends
your money
Hosea in the highest
your fleeting hope on some higher power
that fled this planet
thousands of years ago knowing how life would
develope.

Humanity as a whole written off
because most human beings seek violence out
when again
herein up above there are enough minds
to get over the speed bump
the straight forward you
that's your backward thinking that some God.

Get thee hence from me
whom preach that death means your better off
snatched from this life like you snatch
theirs to justify
the taking of yours because you think religion
for you is right, leading the blind out
through the back door never to return here again.

Useless is the way most have dying lived
hence you will die blind
chained to the fate you brought more children into
look to the truth
turn your face to the sky
challenge your death as you did not in life
or again useless deaths
they like you will die.
