The End is Nigh

in #poetry8 years ago

Sharp as a tack,
Hard as a nail,
Quick as a smack,
Slow as a snail.

The flick of a knife,
A cold plaintive wail,
One wasted life,
A penitent trail.

Quiet as the grave,
High as a kite,
Unable to save,
Try as he might.

Horrors to come,
Murder and rape,
A long way from home,
No hope of escape.

Turn a blind eye,
Watch from afar,
The question asked: Why?
As bad as they are.

Sharp as a tongue
Hard as a heart
Quick as a rumour
Slow as restart

The flick of revolt,
A cold heartless man?
To change or to halt?
It’s tough, but he can.

Quiet as a mouse,
High as the sky
Safe as a house,
Bitter as a lie.

Horrors are here,
Murder, death, kill.
Everything to fear,
Blood and oil spill.

Wealth is our aim
Almost from birth
Stake every claim
Our victim? The Earth

Slow as restart... that's awesome.

Thank you. I'm not naturally a poet... I'm not even sure I'm a poet at all. :)

This has absolutely no bearing on this post. Please stop spamming. Flagging this comment for that reason.

But this poem is horrible and steemit is a scam

And you're welcome to hold those views. To me they aren't a valid reason to flag this.
