Holy Destruction Poem by simmy maenetsa

listen to the voices
listen to the screams of the innocent
the screams of the public
as they are butchered by fear along the streets
as they are made horrified by the next victim

open your eyes and see the destruction that has befallen us
the chaos and death that has befallen us
barbaric actions that have no humanity
we are even worse than animals
we reject our own kind

take a moment to breath
take a moment to inhale all the commotion
breath it in, all the destruction
let it flow through all the cells in your body
infecting your every thought and finally
breath it all out

smell the burnt trees in the air
as the last of nature is destroyed, smell it
the fowl stench of built up carbon dioxide being released
the carcass of burnt animals
maybe then you will realise that you are next

sooner or later humanity will burn out
racism, murder, genocides, mass destruction
all the definitions that were created purely of man's cruelty
deforestation, pollution, climate change and global warming all gave rise by men's ignorance.

so many problems and yet no change
so many problems and yet no improvements
yet the solutions are already there
solutions that can change the world are already there
solutions to a better future.

i have grown to hate this world with all my heart
so many problems
what will become of me if we do not change
what will i tell my children of the choices we made
oh how selfish they were.
