What Humans Do

in #poetry8 years ago (edited)

The night sky echoes past ages of light
In a history of colour, it's an inspiring sight
All of it ancient by our short spans
An eternity we can frame with our hands

Its vision splendid tasks our minds
Helps us free our earthly binds
Illusions all by times journey enhanced
Yet to its rhythm we have danced

From long ago to now a message passed
Recorded on stones the skies to last
A warning about a dawning whose equinox procession
Comes with inevitable precision

It’s retold down verbal generations
Thus voids the predator’s deceptions
Till again we stand in awe of the impending immensity
Of the foretold shift in density

Few though have heard their hearts call
For them the coming is a fall
The predator stirs as so many fail the test
it’s happy and awaits a rich harvest

Some will have read the sign
A wave approaches it seems benign
Yet as it passes it takes its toll of belief
As many set to recreate their current grief

While we pass this way on our journeys path
We stop and look and start to laugh
For we are co-creators of our insanity
We made our shared reality

Soon to be returned to the year one
Some of us work to avoid the fun
Those awake in this depravity
Can see through the sad fantasy

And though I’m beside myself
I take the time to share the wealth
So that others may come through
Cause that’s what humans do
